Fertilization management: Base fertilizer should be a mixture of manure, green manure, phosphate fertilizer, potash fertilizer and lime, with an application rate of 5000-7500 kg per mu. Topdressing depends on the growth of the hemp plants. Generally, topdressing is done 1-2 times a year, with 1000-1500 kg of organic fertilizer per mu each time, mixed with nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. Generally, fertilizer is applied in holes before harvesting, and after harvesting, fertilization is done in furrows in large rows for mature hemp.
