1000-seed weight — Cannabis sativa

Cannabis sativa L.

1000-seed weight is a key indicator of the seed quality and size in Cannabis sativa, determining the calculation of the seeding rate in kilograms per hectare.

In the reference 15 varieties crop Hemp, where this is mentioned in the description.

For Cannabis sativa, typical 1000-seed weight values range from 15 to 25 g. In variety testing conditions for specific cultivars, such as 'Nadezhda' or 'Surskaya', the values are typically between 15.6 g and 18.2 g.

This parameter is critical for calculating the seeding rate when converting target plant density from millions of plants per hectare into weight units. A decrease in this value below standard levels indicates shriveled seeds, which can lead to a yield reduction of 25% or more.

The 1000-seed weight of hemp is significantly influenced by agronomic practices and growing conditions. For instance, the application of mineral fertilizers and an increase in growing area promote weight gain, whereas crop density leads to its reduction.
