PAMAP (Predictive Analytical Modeling Application for Plants
from Grassroots Marketing Hosted by Cannabis Radio
Grassroots Marketing speaks with Michael Dalle Molle, Partner and Chief Operating Officer of Mariposa Technology Mariposa Technology has developed for hemp and marijuana farmers a digital farming tool that leverages a powerful database and proprietary software that allows them to test their crops at any stage of the growing season, without having to cut any samples. This revolutionary protocol for rapid, in-field testing of live hemp plants, called PAMAP (Predictive Analytical Modeling Application for Plants), brings farmers the power of self-testing with a handheld device at a fraction of the cost or time of traditional lab testing, with accurate and immediate results. Mariposa partnered with researchers at Texas A&M University, who found they can use a technique called Raman spectroscopy (RS) to determine the difference between hemp and marijuana in a non-invasive, non-destructive way. This proprietary database, used in conjunction with RS, allows farmers to test crop THC levels and plant gender without disturbing the plant. Current testing methods require farmers to cut a sample of their crop and ship it into a lab, costing time and money. The PAMAP method simply requires the grower to point the device at their crops.
