Industrial hemp, legally defined as Cannabis sativa with less than 0.3% totaltetrahydrocannabinol (THC), has been grown commercially in North Carolina since 2014 under the state administered pilot program and expanded rapidly since 2017. Little research has been done on arthropod management in hemp, particularly in field production which represents most of North Carolina's crop. Here, we describe efforts in 2019 and 2020 to assess potential pest presence and significant in industrial hemp.
