Page scope

South Krasnodar hemp covers the Soviet hemp variety South Krasnodar (Южная краснодарская): its breeding on the Kuban, its zoning there from 1949, what the sources say about the plant, its use for fibre in Ukraine, the varieties bred from it, its place in the Soviet law of 1987 and the genebank lots held under the name. The southern hemp group as a whole, and the Soviet law in full, are on Southern hemp.

The breeding laboratory page of the Krasnodar agricultural research institute (now the Lukyanenko National Grain Centre), in the Internet Archive copy of 15 November 2019, gives the breeder, the zoning on the Kuban from 1949 and the area of up to 60,000 hectares. The original address now opens the centre's home page.

Shkvar's chapter on Cherkasy hemp growing (p. 67). The collection has no single author; each chapter is cited under its own authors.

de Meijer (1995) bases the ancestries of former Soviet cultivars partly on unpublished notes by K. Hillig and on personal communications; the article attributes them to him.

Name and kind

The title is the English form of the Soviet law's list in Babayan (1990), "South Krasnodar". De Meijer (1995) writes Yuzhnaya Krasnodarskaya; the genebanks write Juzhnaja Krasnodarskaja (Vavilov Institute) and Yuzhnaia Krasnodarskaia (Institute of Bast Crops).
The infobox kind is "Registered cultivar" because the laboratory page gives a zoning (районирование) on the Kuban from 1949. The zoning order itself is not cited.

Where the sources differ

YuS-6 and JUS-6. Virovets (1974) describes YuS-6 (Южносозревающая 6) as bred from a cross of South Krasnodar with northern hemp; de Meijer (1995) describes JUS-6 as selected from a cross of South Krasnodar with dwarf northern Russian hemp. The two look like one cultivar under two romanisations, but the article gives each source's account separately.
Krasnodar 35 and 56. Volume 34 of the institute's papers (1971) writes Южная краснодарская 35 in one chapter (Senchenko and Kolyadko, on resistance to broomrape) and Краснодарская 35 in another (Demkin, p. 96). De Meijer's thesis of 1994 calls Krasnodarskaya 35 and 56 "probably improved selections". Whether they are selections from South Krasnodar hemp is not settled by these sources, and the article does not merge them.

Not used

Genebank lots named only "Krasnodarskaja" (Vavilov Institute 618_149, 618_433 for no. 35 and 618_508 for no. 56; Institute of Bast Crops UF0600392 for no. 35; IPK CAN 45 and others) are not listed: their names differ from this variety's.
Narcotic content. None of the sources gives a figure for this variety by name. Figures for southern varieties in general are on Southern hemp.
A 1958 list of domestic varieties (Ryumina, p. 67) names a "Krasnodar" hemp among the southern varieties used for zelenets without saying whether it is this variety; it is not used.
Nevinnykh's own works on breeding southern hemp in the North Caucasus (1958, 1966) and the zoning list of Senchenko and others (1978) are not available online.
