Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Primary hemp flower size varied little across irrigation amounts.
- Intervention effect Leaf and stem biomass increased as irrigation rose to and beyond 100% PEt.
- Intervention effect Plant height increased with irrigation.
- Intervention effect Secondary and tertiary flower biomass increased with irrigation to about 80% PEt.
- Intervention effect Floral biomass plateaued above about 80% PEt for both cultivar types.
- Intervention effect Floral cannabinoid concentrations varied little across irrigation amounts.
- Intervention effect Irrigation above about 80% PEt generally did not increase cannabinoid yield.
- Recommendation Low, moderate or no irrigation may be economically feasible in some semi-arid settings.
