Agreement Number:
1017270
Agreement Value:
$196,000.00
Agreement Date:
Apr 1, 2024 - Feb 28, 2026
Description:
The firm aims to pioneer the development and validation of polyploid hemp varieties by utilizing advanced breeding techniques. This effort is targeted at significantly enhancing cannabinoid yields while establishing seedless and cross-pollination-resistant plants. By achieving these milestones, the initiative is poised to address key industry challenges, namely inconsistent crop quality due to unintended pollination. The successful execution of this project is expected to catalyze a transformation in cannabinoid-hemp cultivation, leading to increased economic viability and environmental sustainability.
