South Krasnodar hemp (Russian: Южная краснодарская, Yuzhnaya Krasnodarskaya) is a Soviet variety of southern hemp, a tall hemp grown for fibre. It was bred by Vasily Alekseyevich Nevinnykh (1900–1982), who first organised the breeding of southern hemp in the North Caucasus. Zoned on the Kuban, in Krasnodar Krai, from 1949, it was grown in Russia on up to 60,000 hectares.[2] It was also sown in Ukraine in the 1950s.[3]: 24, 28 Several later fibre cultivars descend from it.[4] In 1987 Soviet criminal law added it to the list of hemps whose sowing or growing was a crime.[5]

Origin

Nevinnykh led the breeding of southern hemp in the North Caucasus until 1981 and bred 12 varieties of hemp. The work began at the North Caucasus Experimental Station of Bast Crops and moved in 1956 to the Krasnodar agricultural research institute, now the Lukyanenko National Grain Centre.[2] Etienne de Meijer wrote in a 1995 survey of fibre cultivars that South Krasnodar hemp was originally selected from Italian hemp; he took the ancestries of former Soviet cultivars partly from unpublished notes by K. Hillig.[4] Trials of Italian hemp in Russia go back to 1842.[2]

The plant

In seed-weight trials of the Institute of Hemp, South Krasnodar hemp fell in the large-seeded group, with the other southern varieties.[1]: 108 Its seed shattered moderately, less than wild, northern and Mozdok hemp and more than South Chuy hemp.[6]: 121 It ripened 16 to 17 days later than South Cherkassy hemp, which was selected from it.[7]: 67

Cultivation in Ukraine

The collective farm Bolshevik, in the Shostka district of Sumy Oblast, was one of the leading hemp farms of the Polesia districts of Ukraine.[3]: 24 In 1954 two of its brigades sowed South Krasnodar hemp on 28 hectares on 14 May, earlier than in the two years before, and South Cherkassy hemp on 10 hectares on 16 May. The early sowings gave the highest fibre yields, 12 quintals a hectare and more, despite frosts down to −2 to −3 °C and hail. The farm grew both varieties for fibre as zelenets, a crop grown for fibre alone.[3]: 28

The Institute of Bast Crops recommended South Krasnodar hemp, with South Pavlograd hemp, for zelenets in the southern districts of Sumy Oblast and in all the forest-steppe provinces of Ukraine.[8]: 101

Varieties bred from it

  • South Cherkassy (Южная черкасская), selected after the Second World War by the Cherkasy hemp seed station with researchers of the Institute of Bast Crops, by acclimatisation and mass selection from South Krasnodar hemp. It spread through the collective farms of the Cherkasy, Poltava, Sumy and Chernihiv oblasts.[7]: 67
  • YuS-6 (Южносозревающая 6), bred by crossing South Krasnodar with northern hemp, followed by family-group selection for fibre content.[9]: 59 In de Meijer's survey, JUS-6 was selected from a cross of South Krasnodar with dwarf northern Russian hemp, and JUS 9 is the offspring of a cross between the same two.[4]
  • Dneprovskaya 4, selected from South Krasnodar hemp. Through it South Krasnodar stands in the ancestry of the cultivars Zolotonosha 11 and Secuieni 1, and through JUS 9 in that of Fédora 19.[4]

Law

Main article: Southern hemp#Soviet law

A decree of the Presidium of the USSR Supreme Soviet of 22 June 1987 added South Arkhon and South Krasnodar hemp to the hemps whose sowing or growing was punished with up to five years' imprisonment.[5] The RSFSR criminal code took the same list by a decree of 29 June 1987.[10][11] The other names on the list were Indian hemp, South Manchurian, South Chuy and South Arkhon hemp.[11]

Seed lots

The Vavilov Institute holds a lot under the name, 618_106, with Russia as its country of origin.[12] The Institute of Bast Crops at Hlukhiv holds lot UF0600243, acquired in 1994 and recorded as an advanced cultivar from Russia.[13]
