Variety traits

Plant height — Cannabis sativa

Cannabis sativa L.

A key productivity indicator determining bast fiber yield, seed quality, and suitability for mechanized harvesting. It includes measuring total height and technical stem length from the root collar to the inflorescence.

In the reference 64 varieties crop Hemp, where this is mentioned in the description.

When evaluating the crop, technical stem length is an important parameter that critically influences bast fiber yield. Depending on the ecotype and growing conditions, the plant height range varies from 0.3 to 4 meters, with Central Russian varieties typically showing values within the 1–2 meter range.

Stand height determines the strategy for mechanized harvesting: with optimal values of 110–130 cm, standard combine harvesters can operate effectively. Tall varieties have an advantage in competing with weeds through shading; however, uniformity of habit remains a crucial condition for stable yields.
