Grounds for creation of self-pollinated lines of non-narcotic hemp for breeding for increase of oil content

At the present stage of agricultural production hemp becomes important not only as a fiber but also as an oil crop. The possibility of creation of valuable self-pollinated lines of hemp with a complex of characteristics and traits of oil direction is proved. The self-pollinated lines as components of crossing should meet the certain requirements: to be sources and donors of high oil content with good general and specific combining ability; to have high seed productivity and significant amount of plants with diamondshaped inflorescences; do not contain components of cannabinoid compounds; to be stable according to androgynism trait; to be characterized by a low degree of inbred depression.
