Written By libby furminger

Abstract:

This study investigates the impact of industrial hemp on soil biota in organic agricultural production.

Key findings:

  • Hemp cultivation reduced the content of P205

  • Macro element composition of the soil were not significantly effected by hemp cultivation, suggesting that nutrient composition is formed more effectively using organic methods

  • Hemp cultivation helped to promote the soil biological activity: higher tissue degradation intensity, CO2 diffusion, nitrification capacity

  • Hemp cultivation increased the quantity of microorganisms in the soil, including earthworms, springtails and nematodes, thereby preserving the soils fertility better
