In dense plantings, the bottom leaves atrophy. Male plants die back after shedding. The stem has an outer bark that contains the long, tough bast fibres. These give the quality and strength for which. The core contains the hurds, or short fibres. For grain production, the plants may branch and reach heights of. Tall plants do not necessarily produce more grain than. Shorter plants are preferred for combining. In well- structured and well- drained soils, the taproot may penetrate. In compacted soils, the taproot remains short and. Figure 3. Cross- section of hemp stems. Figure 4: Roots. of hemp. Varieties. Industrial hemp varieties tested in Ontario to date have all been.
