VCU now also possible for Hemp varieties for the production of seed and oil from seed

Publicationdate: 2 oktober 2023

Since this summer, an approved Dutch VCU protocol for hemp varieties for the production of seed and oil from seed is available.

Until now, it has not been possible in the Netherlands to conduct VCU (Value for Cultivation and Use) research on hemp varieties for the production of seed and oil from seed. There was no adapted protocol, so these varieties could only be admitted if they met the standards for fiber hemp (for which there is a VCU protocol). New varieties from this group can be tested against this.

A nice improvement that increases the chance of admission of varieties from this group. The protocol can be found on the website of the Board for plant varieties.
