title = "Optimising growth and nutrition of industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) in south-western Australia",
abstract = "Industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa) has attracted revived interest in Western Australia for seed production and human nutrition but faces cultivation challenges in low-phosphorus sandy soils. Hence, optimization of growth and nutrition is required from seed germination to maturity to improve nutrient-use efficiency. Hempseed germination and early establishment varied with seed origin and seed pre-treatments. Hempseed had high calcium and iron but low zinc bioavailabilities. Hemp root growth responses to microbial inoculation were genotype-specific and dependent on fertilization and the nutrient status of the growth substrate. Phosphorus-use efficiency of industrial hemp in low-phosphorus soil depended on the morpho-physiological differences among genotypes.",
