Pe192 Puzzling Pathogen is Killing Cannabis Crops

(Part 1) Joseph Ramahi, PhD, a plant molecular biologist, was stunned as he discovered the widespread infection rates of Hop Latent Viroid (HpLVd) in cannabis crops. While this new viroid to cannabis was only publicly announced in 2019, it was initially discovered in the hops industry. We discuss the what, why, where and when of HpLVd with our guest Joseph Ramahi, PhD, CSO of Cultivaris Hemp and on the board of Apical Biotek.
