Hemp Taxonomy

Hemp taxonomy is the scientific classification that identifies and categorizes hemp plants based on their characteristics. It involves grouping them into species, varieties, and cultivars, helping researchers and growers distinguish different types of hemp, especially regarding their uses such as fiber, seed, or CBD production. This system uses Latin names and hierarchical levels (like genus and species) to organize the plants logically. Understanding hemp taxonomy ensures consistent communication, accurate identification, and proper cultivation practices, supporting industry growth and scientific research.
