141. #LeadersTalkCrops - Reasons to Consider Pest & Disease Susceptibility and Resistance When Selecting Your Next Commercial Cannabis Cultivar w/ Jeff Coco

The cost of IPM can be high in Cannabis production.  Especially if your wholesale or dispensary customers' favorite cultivar is also incredibly susceptible to pest & disease.  It is routinely observed by many different growers that certain Cannabis cultivars are more resilient and able to defend against certain pests or pathogens and prevent them from creating economic injury.  The selection of cultivars is usually an involved process that has far-reaching implications for many aspects of the business.  That's why we had Jeff Coco, an Applied Horticultural Entomologist, onto CropTalk podcast to share his insights surrounding cultivar selection through the lens of integrated pest management. Jeff is also really into entomophagy and shares how he is helping folks shift their perspective on using insects as ingredients in cuisine. And, how he loves creating darn good, bug-filled, food.  Until next time, #startcleanstayclean
