Industrial Hemp Decontaminates Soil

Interesting report on how hemp is used to remove dioxin from the soil.

I wonder if its a specific cultivar used to decontaminate the soil. ?

I remember Shantibaba mentioning this problem in his presentation. It is probably very common problem that farmers face in Europe. Plants draw this contamination from the ground to the plant body (and seeds). I would say any “technical” strain meant for production of stems and seeds would be sufficient as it is about “weight” of raw plant material produced.
