Hemp makes a rapid growth, and adequate supplies of available nitrogen are essential for satisfactory crops. However, these data indieate clearly that excessive applications should be avoided. The problem is one of adjusting rates and balances of nutrients in such a way as to assure maximum production and at the same time maintain fiber quality. From the point of view of the grower, some loss in fiber strength may be justified if the increased yields give a greater net income.
