e0“rotation effects of hemp on the subsequent wheat crops increased the wheat yield by 1368 and 155 kg ha −1 in the first and second years, respectively, but in the third year the yield was similar to the wheat monoculture.”

Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Hemp biomass yields of 5340–10,090 kg ha −1 were similar to or lower than yields elsewhere in Europe.
- Observation Hemp seed yields of 604–1434 kg ha −1 were relatively high.
- Intervention effect NPK increased hemp biomass yield.
- Intervention effect NPK increased hemp seed yield.
- Intervention effect Hemp rotation increased first year wheat yield by 1368 kg ha −1.
- Intervention effect Third year wheat yield after hemp was similar to monoculture.
- Intervention effect Two years of hemp monocropping did not reduce its grain or biomass yields.
- Recommendation The authors conclude dual purpose hemp is an excellent wheat predecessor.
