Notes
1
In the context of globalization, everyone should try to know what hemp competitors are and it should not
remain the 'plant in the field'.
2
For the industrial utilization of the fibres, different materials and methods have been developed and used
to evaluate the colour and dimensions of the fibres. Readers are innted to refer to chapter 9.
3
The presence of foreign bodies, in particular plastic pieces, however small, result in the formation of holes
in the paper or variations in quality of the paper.
4
The composition of hemp seed is explained in chapters 3 and 11.
