Abstract

In spite of changes in regulation and increased hemp cultivation and commercialization, information on hemp best production practices in the United States is scarce. Due to hemp’s human consumption, particularly as concentrated oil, hemp is often grown with low synthetic chemical inputs. Therefore, microbiome management and the use of microbial inoculants are important tools to increase hemp productivity. As a first step to characterize the hemp core microbiome, we completed a survey of bacterial communities associated with different tissue types of plants grown in a field in Ohio. This local dataset could be integrated with further hemp microbiome surveys to identify potential beneficial interactions relevant to plant health and productivity but also to evaluate microbiome impacts on product efficacy and safety.
