Green Chemistry will help in the development of Russian hemp growing

The production of hemp fiber and hemp oil has recently become an urgent task for the country's agriculture. In this regard, scientists from the National Center for Agricultural Technologies of the Future have developed new protective and stimulating complexes for plants. As Sergey Belopukhov, Doctor of Agricultural Sciences, said, a decrease in the supply of raw cotton, which the former republics of the USSR used to send to Russian cotton mills, contributed to the revival of flax and hemp growing in the country. For the full development of raw materials, agribusiness enterprises, in addition to the fiber direction, also engaged in oilseeds. - New varieties require the use of modern agricultural technologies. One of the stages is the treatment with “green chemistry”, which will not only help the plant grow, but also increase the yield and quality of the final agricultural product,” he added. As part of the NTsMU research “New technologies for deep processing of cellulose-containing ...
