MARGO

MARGO is a mid-season variety of hemp (Cannabis sativa L. ssp. sativa) intended for the production of green stalk and seeds. The vegetative period of the variety is 118-120 days, which ensures early flowering and full maturation of seeds. The plant is characterized by a medium stem length with yellow coloration and anthocyanin coloring, medium thickness, and weak ribbing, with no branching. The leaves have green coloration, and the petiole is also colored in anthocyanin. The mass of 1000 seeds is medium, mosaicism is absent, indicating high quality of seed material. The MARGO variety differs in high yield: stem yield reaches 79.3 c/ha, while fiber content is 27.2%, and fiber breaking strength is 27.1 kgf. Seed yield is 10.8 c/ha. Due to resistance to lodging (5 points) and shattering (4 points), the variety is well suited for mechanized harvesting. In addition, MARGO demonstrates stable development on various soil types and is weakly affected by diseases and pests, which increases the reliability and efficiency of cultivation. The variety is widely used in Russian agriculture for the production of oil, including linseed, and other products. It is recommended for cultivation in various regions of the country, including Northern, North-Western, Central, Volga-Vyatskaya, Central-Chernozem, North-Caucasian, Middle-Volga, Lower-Volga, Ural, West-Siberian, East-Siberian, and Far Eastern. Due to its agro-technical characteristics and quality indicators, MARGO is a reliable choice for farmers focused on obtaining high-quality fiber and seeds.
