Industrial hemp is a non-psychoactive variety of Cannabis sativa L. grown for multiple end-uses including oil, fiber, and grain products. Industrial hemp was once an important crop in the United States prior to being banned from production under The Marihuana Tax Act of 1937. There is interest from producers related to the feasibility of hemp production in New Jersey and surrounding areas, as it is grown for a wide variety of consumer and industrial products. Producers from different industries are concerned with different fiber characteristics and our goal is to measure and report on these traits/characteristics. For instance, the textile industry is concerned with the bast fibers from the hemp plant. Characteristics of primary importance to this industry include fiber diameter, length, density, tensile strength, oil content, and color. In contrast, the construction industry is concerned with hurd fiber characteristics such as granularity (rounded vs larger fibers) where the larger fibers are easier to spray in hemicrete applications. In addition, the absence of dust fibers and the color quality are important characteristics of concern along with a reduced microbial contamination load.
