Pest

Pest refers to various insects and organisms that can harm the plant, reducing yield and quality. Some strains of cannabis may be more resistant to pests, while others might be more susceptible. Growers prefer pest-resistant strains, as they typically require fewer chemical interventions, producing more organic and natural products. Resistance to pests is often achieved through careful breeding and selection of specific genetic traits. The focus on cultivating pest-resistant strains reflects a broader trend towards sustainable agriculture within the cannabis industry, acknowledging the importance of balancing productivity and quality with environmental stewardship and consumer health.
