The hemp variety "Beautiful of the Albis" comes from the offspring of an old European fiber hemp variety, which has disappeared from the seed trade. She has been on sale at the Albis for several years.
This seed produces 50% pure female plants and 50% pure male plants.
The harvested seeds make up the seed for the following year.
The cultivation of the variety "Beautiful of the Albis" is allowed in Switzerland for private use. In some cantons, however, there is a duty to register for the cultivation of more than 10 hemp plants: eg in GR, SG ....
The hemp field from the summer series "In the shadow of the castle - Life 500 years ago" by SRF Switzerland aktuell " consisted of the hemp variety" Beautiful of the Albis ".
I don't know how it is in the EU but think it is the same as it is in Switzerland: There are no pesticides approved for hemp and hence farmers are not allowed to use any kind of (chemical) pesticide on hemp no matter what. But then again, the varieties grown in the EU are well adapted to the local climate and usually don't need treatments. Sure, the density of hemp fields is rather low and at least hemp specific pests can't readily spread.
Given that non-EU approved varieties such as the new high CBD breeds are only allowed to be grown indoors (usually in industrial zones) in order to avoid/circumvent agronomic regulations (it's some sort of grey area taking advantage of a loophole in the current regulations) makes pesticide regulations kind of impossible to control other than the produce needs to be conform to corresponding requirements (basically food, tobacco replacement, and as raw chemical).
Can you quote me the law that prohibits using pesticide on a hemp crop?

When is it for food within the EU certain pesticides are not allowed to use and if it is, the farmers should keep to the strict MRLs, from what is allowed.
Better you can ask yourself is pesticide use needed when hemp is grown?If you have grown 1000s of hemp plants, which pesticide did you use in the field?
Never used any pesticides on Hemp or Cannabis, I only use IPM if anything.
And I would advise others to do the same.
Can you list the Swiss or EU laws that prohibit pesticides on Hemp?
I never heard of them, to be honest.
