(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.
