VEGA
Introducing Vega, a standout variety in the Industrial Hemp market, Vega is engineered for superior performance and adaptability, catering to farmers and producers seeking a robust, high-yield hemp crop with excellent grain potential.
Strengths & Plant Description
Vega sets a new standard with its impressive grain yield capabilities and a shorter stature that remarkably tolerates lodging, ensuring a sturdy crop even under adverse conditions. This variety is highly uniform in both height and flowering, presenting an efficient and predictable growth pattern. Its plant height ranges from 130 to 150 cm, making it an ideal choice for diverse farming environments.
Grain Description & Management Tips
The Vega variety is distinguished by its exceptional grain potential and good straw yield, despite not focusing on bast fiber production. With a THC level of 0.02-0.2% and CBD level of 0.5-1.6%, it adheres to regulatory standards while providing a valuable product. The Thousand Kernel Weight (TKW) stands at 18g, with an oil content of 30.6%, highlighting its high-quality grain production.
Farmers are advised to sow Vega mid to late May at 20-25 lb/acre to achieve optimal grain yield. This variety thrives in lighter soils, such as sandy loam or silty soils, and benefits from a stale seedbed and narrow row spacing for improved weed control. Its very low male count and the possibility to follow with a fall seeded crop add to its management efficiency.
Why Choose Vega?
New Variety Excellence: Vega's excellent grain yield and shorter plant height with outstanding lodging tolerance make it a top choice for efficiency and reliability.
Uniformity and Low Male Count: Its uniform growth and very low male count ensure a consistent and manageable crop.
Optimal Grain Yield: Designed for optimal performance in lighter soils, with specific sowing and management recommendations to maximize grain production.
Sustainability: The ability to follow Vega with a fall seeded crop enhances crop rotation options and soil health, contributing to sustainable farming practices.
Conclusion
Vega represents the pinnacle of industrial hemp breeding, offering farmers a highly productive, easy-to-manage crop with significant economic potential.
