Sources
- Lukashevich (1957), the chapter on hemp and kenaf in the state farms of the Kirghiz SSR in the collection Выращивание высоких урожаев конопли, кенафа и джута (pp. 88 and 101). It is the source for the breeding at the Chuy Experimental Station, the zoning, the plant's traits and the state farms.
- Arinshtein (1950), two chapters in Лубяные культуры, pp. 108 and 121.
- Akmatova (2024), pp. 25–26, quoting Askar Djakishev's Вопросы борьбы с наркотизмом Кыргызстана ХХ век (history.krsu.edu.kg) for the decision of 9 July 1964 and the reasons given for it.
- The law texts: the RSFSR decree of 3 July 1965, the Kazakh SSR code in its wording of 1987, the Kirghiz SSR code in its edition of 1997 and Babayan (1990).
Name and kind
- The title follows the English list of the Soviet law ("South Chuy"); Babayan (1990) writes "South Chuya". The pages on Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan render the codes' «южной чуйской» as "southern Chuy".
- The name refers to the Chu (Chüy) valley of Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, not to the Chuya of the Altai.
- The infobox kind is "Registered cultivar" because Lukashevich (1957) states that the variety was zoned for the state and collective farms of the Kirghiz SSR.
Where the sources differ
- Southern or East Asian. Arinshtein (1950) counts South Chuy among the southern varieties. The zoning scheme in the third edition of the Сельскохозяйственная энциклопедия gives East Asian hemp, not southern hemp, to the Kirghiz SSR. A web page of no stated authorship (selekcija.ru) places South Chuy in an "East Asian subgroup"; it names no source and is not used.
- The Kirghiz decree. Djakishev, as quoted by Akmatova, says that the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Kirghiz SSR made the sowing of South Chuy hemp a crime, without a date. The edition note of art. 236 of the Kirghiz SSR code lists a decree of the Presidium of 30 July 1964 (Ведомости Верховного Совета Киргизской ССР 1964, No. 32) first among its amendments, but does not say what it changed. The article gives no date for the Kirghiz decree.
Not used
- The Chuy Experimental Station. The sources name it as the breeder and cite its field data but do not give its location or founding year.
- A Vavilov Institute lot named "Chujskaja" (618_295), with the Soviet Union as its country of origin, is not listed: its name lacks "Juzhnaja", which the institute uses in the names of the South Krasnodar and South Arkhon lots. Genesys lists no lot from Kyrgyzstan.
- The narcotic content of the variety. None of the sources gives a figure for it. A 2023 press report that the valley's hemp was not used in Soviet industry because of its high psychotropic content concerns the wild hemp of the valley and is on Chu Valley.
