(Part 2) Joseph Ramahi, PhD, a tissue culture specialist,
discovered the difficulty of identifying Hop Latent Viroid (HpLVd)
in cannabis and hemp plants, as it displayed both symptomatic and
asymptomatic characteristics. HpLVd can lead to “dudding”, a
stunted growth with less flower production and reduced trichomes.
We discuss this discovery and the actions growers can take with our
guest Joseph Ramahi, PhD, CSO
of Cultivaris Hemp and on the board of
Apical Biotek.
