Abstract
This issue starts with a peer-reviewed paper by Forrest and Young on the effect of nitrogen and phosphorous fertiliser on hemp morphology and anatomy. The authors present in particular detailed information on phloem fibre and xylem development. The article by Riddlestone, Stott, Blackburn and Brighton presents a technical and economic feasibility study of green decortication of hemp fibre for textile. The paper gives a detailed account of the technical difficulties encountered in hemp fibre extraction and processing for textile purposes. Kenyon Gibson gives a lively account of past and present use of hemp in the British Isles. This paper corresponds to Chapter 4 of Gibson’s recent book “Hemp for Victory: History and Qualities of the World’s Most Useful Plant.” Michael Karus relates the official founding of the European Industrial Hemp Association and its Third International Hemp Conference. Both events took place in Germany in November 2005.
