Variety traits

Oil content — industrial hemp

Cannabis sativa L.

The oil content of industrial hemp characterizes the fat concentration in seeds, which typically ranges from 28% to 36% in varieties, reaching 41% in certain cases. It is a hereditary trait whose magnitude is influenced by genotype, growing conditions, and morphological characteristics of the seeds.

In the reference 26 varieties crop Hemp, where this is mentioned in the description.

For industrial hemp, oil content is a key economically valuable trait. The fat content in seeds is subject to significant variability depending on the variety: studies show fluctuations of the indicator from 30% to nearly 41% in individual genotypes. An important factor correlating with oil accumulation is seed color: yellow-brown fruits often demonstrate higher values compared to light-gray ones.

Oil content serves as a significant target parameter in breeding, where work is focused not only on increasing the total fat content but also on optimizing the fatty acid composition. Oil accumulation is influenced by agrotechnical practices, including the application of micronutrients during critical growth phases, such as the formation of three pairs of leaves and budding. High seed oil content significantly increases the crop's value for the oil and fat industry and improves the nutritional characteristics of the oilcake.
