Learn the Latest Cannabis Research Updates at the Biosolutions Conference

With a still-emerging greenhouse crop like cannabis, proper knowledge on growing a high-quality product is critical. Fortunately, the upcoming Biosolutions Conference and Expo, which takes place Feb. 23-24 in Reno, NV, has this covered.

Here’s a closer look at the cannabis-specific educational presentations that will take place at the conference:

• Living Soils/How Knowing Your Plant’s Rooting Environment Can Help You Produce a Better Plant: Attend this session to learn the many steps growers can take to improve their plant quality and yield, which often starts by managing the soil environment. Re-using media, for example, can help you better utilize biostimulants and beneficial insects. Learn more from Tad Hussey, Owner of KIS Organics
• Important Recent Research Updates on Bio and Cannabis: Since cannabis is still not gaining national support in the U.S., scientists do not have access to much of the traditional research funding. That doesn’t mean important work isn’t taking place. In this session from Suzanne Wainwright-Evans, Owner of Buglady Consulting, you’ll get an update on the cannabis research results you need to know.
• Battling Botrytis Biologically: Botrytis is a tough disease to manage at the best of times, but its resistance to many conventional fungicides adds another layer of complexity. This has focused attention on the use of cultural and biological techniques as a first, and sometimes only, line of defense against this pathogen. This presentation from Michael Brownbridge, Biological Program Manager at BioWorks Inc., will review biological and cultural methods and tools that can be used to prevent and manage this disease successfully in ornamental and other high value horticultural crops, and consider their role in resistance management.
