We are beginning to see some outbreaks of cannabis aphid in both fiber and CBD production in the central valley. Be on the lookout for wet leaves caused by aphid honeydew production! #hemp #farming #agriculture #biocontrol

Lepidopteran pests like corn earworm can feed on cannabis colas, hindering yield. Out in the Central Valley, we’ve already seen some damage on a few farms. #cannabispests #ipm #cornearworm #caterpillar #hemp

Whiteflies are an important #pest of both #hemp and #cannabis production. Infestations cause buildup of the “honeydew” they produce, which leads to sticky leaves and sooty mold growth - yuck! Additionally, whiteflies can vector Lettuce Chlorosis Virus (LCV).

The sheer amount of diversity within this crop species has been astonishing.

#CBD hemp trials going in today! We have varieties “Riki Auto”, “Grape Soda”, and “Santa Clara Haze” in the ground from Ventura Seed Company. Can’t wait to see what #insects show up so we can evaluate some #IPM strategies 👀🐞🐛 #CannabisCommunity #AgriculturalResearch

Covering beds for upcoming #hemp trials! This summer we will be investigating if plastic mulches influence insect populations of hemp. We will also be testing out some organic #insecticides on Hemipteran pests in both #fiber and #CBD hemp. #cannabis #entomology #agriculture
