Leveraging IPM To Grow A Safe, Compliant, And High-Yielding Cannabis Crop

Date: August 24, 2018
Time: 12:00 am - 12:00 am
Location: Online Webinar event

At its heart, Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is about taking a combined approach to prevent and treat pest pressures in order to maximize yields and deliver positive economic and ecological results.

As many commercial cannabis cultivators know, it’s not a matter of IF you’ll get pests, but WHEN, which is why it’s essential to have a plan in place. By following a diversified IPM protocol, cultivators are able to both proactively and reactively address pest pressures using a combination of pesticides, biological controls, and best practices. The result is improved yields with minimized ecological impact. This is critical in an industry with a continually evolving regulatory environment governing the production of a crop with medical applications.
