Hemp (broad sense)
Cultivars of Cannabis with
low levels* of psychoactive
compounds (THC).
* The magic number is 0.3% by dry
weight. Don’t ask why.

There are at least 3 kinds of hemp crops
from an Insect Management Perspective
• Hemp grown seed and/or fiber
–Outdoor culture
• Hemp grown for CBD production
–Outdoor culture
• Indoor culture of any Cannabis crop

Hemp Grown for Fiber and/or Seed
Produced by seeding
Plant populations are high
![Page 6: Insect Pest Management Needs Identified in Colorado Hemp ... · Colorado State University. What type of crop is hemp? Hemp (broad sense) Cultivars of Cannabis with low levels* of](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050306/5f6e5c872941f23b89410a12/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Hemp Grown for Fiber and Seed
Crop may be a mixture of separate female
and male (dioecious) plants or may include
monoecious plants
Pollination (wind) is needed for seed
production

Hemp pollen can be extremely attractive to many kinds of bees
Colton O’Brien and Dr. ArathiSeshadri just published a paper on the use of hemp pollen by bees

Hemp Grown for CBD
![Page 9: Insect Pest Management Needs Identified in Colorado Hemp ... · Colorado State University. What type of crop is hemp? Hemp (broad sense) Cultivars of Cannabis with low levels* of](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050306/5f6e5c872941f23b89410a12/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Most hemp being grown for CBD
presently uses transplanted clones.
Parentage is often C. indica or C.
indica/C. sativa hybrids
Rooted cuttings
Mother plants
This usually involves a
greenhouse/indoor production phase.
Some live plants (mother plants, clones)
are normally present year-round.

Hemp Grown for CBD (and
other non-psychoactive cannabinoids)
Typically grown by transplants, with
early season indoor production
In-field plant populations are often low
![Page 11: Insect Pest Management Needs Identified in Colorado Hemp ... · Colorado State University. What type of crop is hemp? Hemp (broad sense) Cultivars of Cannabis with low levels* of](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050306/5f6e5c872941f23b89410a12/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Hemp Grown for CBD (and
other non-psychoactive compounds)
Often all-female plants
Male flowers, pollen absent
Plants often sticky near harvest
Plant is often harvested at immature stage

The only university–derived resources that give any mention of
hemp insects in the United States date to the World War II period
The entomology

were cursory and
appear to have
no relevance to
the present
situation

This book has very well
summarized the
information known about
hemp pests, worldwide,
prior to 2000.
There are very few
references from North
America sources.

This is what I said in Extension programs last winter
2018:
“Pests problems associated with outdoor grown
hemp will likely have little overlap with those
affecting it when the plant is grown in confined
conditions. This is largely due to greater effects of
natural controls in outdoor settings.”

“Pests problems associated with outdoor grown hemp will likely have little overlap with those affecting it
when the plant is grown in confined conditions. This is largely due to greater effects of natural controls
in outdoor settings.”

Yes – and no. Some cultivars seems to
produce an upward leaf curl in response
to hemp russet mites. Some do not.
Some genotypes normally produce
upward leaf curling in the absence of
mites.

The Pesticide Conundrum with Cannabis
• All registered pesticides can only be legally
applied to sites (e.g., crops) on which they are
labeled
• Presently the agency overseeing pesticide
labeling (EPA) does not recognize cannabis as a
crop site
Are there pesticides that can be used on
this crop now?

Phases of Pesticide Use Regulation in Cannabis
Production
• Phase I - “Wild West” Phase
• Phase II - State Finesse Phase
• Phase III - Normalization Phase
–Cannabis is federally recognized as a crop
–Cannabis is regulated as a normal crop
![Page 111: Insect Pest Management Needs Identified in Colorado Hemp ... · Colorado State University. What type of crop is hemp?

“Wild West Phase”
• All registered pesticides are illegal
• Pesticide regulation and enforcement is ignored by
state and federal agencies
• Growers are unaware of pesticide laws or ignore them
in the absence of direction
• All pest management information sources devolve to
the internet and hearsay

minimal support by state and local agencies

When hemp “grows up” as a crop, addressed by federal laws and
regulations as are all other crops - how will the pesticides issues
work out?
It will very likely vary by the type of hemp
crop, and end use
