Cáñamo

UF/IFAS está trabajando para identificar variedades y recomendaciones de siembra que puedan ser tanto rentables para los productores como ambientalmente responsables. Se hacen ensayos de variedades para encontrar cáñamo comercializable que crezca bien en los diversos suelos, climas y latitudes de Florida. También se están realizando investigaciones económicas para encontrar los costos de los insumos y el valor de mercado esperado. Y adicionalmente se desarrollan  estudios de riesgo de invasividad.

Is a viable hemp industry in Florida’s future?

FE1116/FE1116by Trent Blare, Martha Rivera, Fredy H. Ballen, Zachary BrymMarch 15, 2022Disease and foreign competition have made many growers question the viability of traditional commodity crops such as tomatoes, citrus, and avocados. Industrial hemp appears to be an attractive alternative, as the 2018 Farm Bill permitted its production. Florida has followed several other states in approving permits in 2020 to allow production of industrial hemp. Markets for industrial hemp products were promising in the first years of production, but market prices started to decline dramatically in 2020 with many growers unable to sell all their product. In this publication, we examine the hemp value chain with a focus on opportunities in the Florida market. Better coordination between regulators, processors, financial institutions, research and Extension services, and the retail sector to build confidence, harmonize policies, and lower transaction costs would help the industry flourish and ensure growers, consumers, and hemp-related enterprises can benefit from this emerging market.

Using Supplemental Lighting to Grow Hemp in Florida

HS1452/HS1452by J. Desaeger, J. Coburn, and S. AgeharaOctober 27, 2022With the removal of hemp from the controlled substances list, hemp is now one of the emerging crops in Florida. There is limited information on how to grow this crop in Florida. Like hops, hemp is another recently introduced crop in the state, with one of the major yield-limiting factors of premature flowering induced by inadequate day length. This article provides guidelines for hemp growers in Florida on the use of supplemental lighting to control flowering and improve growth of hemp under Florida’s environmental conditions. Written by Johan Desaeger, Jacqueline Coburn, and Shinsuke Agehara, and published by the UF/IFAS Horticultural Sciences Department; 4 pp.
