Herbicide Damage Symptoms on Hemp

March 9, 2020
By Brad Hanson, Sarah E Light

The introduction of a new crop into a landscape brings certain unknowns, including the risk of drift from neighboring crops. Hemp is a new, high-value commodity that is now being produced in many parts of California. The attached document includes photos and descriptions of herbicide damage symptoms on hemp. Plants were sprayed with herbicides that are widely used during the hemp growing season. Materials were selected that are likely to be sprayed on commodities planted near, or adjacent to, a hemp field. The intention is to provide a brief description of herbicide injury expected from specific herbicides or similar modes of action. The final page of the document is a table with the common registered uses of the materials included in this project.
