Natural-Organic Growing Program: All Hemp is Not The Same
Hemp is becoming regulated to be grown across the United States; however, there’s a lack of knowledge regarding how it’s grown, produced and the whole agronomy surrounding it. Hemp is an accumulator plant, so growers should not use toxic pesticides, insecticides or herbicides because these are absorbed by the plant and passed on to consumers.
The TORC approved Natural-Organic Program is a great starting point for soil health, growing hemp and pest control.
