Course Overview
Hemp propagation is the process of producing new plants from existing ones, and there are several methods that can be used to achieve different agricultural goals. Some of the main types of hemp propagation methods include seed propagation, cloning (vegetative propagation), and tissue culture.
In this course, you will take a deep dive into the world of seed propagation and germination. Understanding these concepts will allow you to assess the germination of your chosen cultivars and make improvements if necessary. You will also explore cloning, or vegetative propagation, including the steps involved and limitations of this method. Lastly, you will explore micropropagation and the tissue culture method to round out your options for hemp propagation methods.
Upon completion of this course, you will have gained an understanding of the different methods of hemp propagation and how their purposes can help growers align propagation methods with their agricultural goals, such as increased yields, improved plant health, and higher-quality hemp products.
