Proactive Testing and Remediation for IPM
from CannabisTech Hosted by CannabisTech
Preventing pests in a commercial cannabis grow operation starts with understanding what kind of potential threats are lurking within the facility. Integrated Pest Management, or IPM, requires specific SOPs and processes - starting with regular tests to determine where the hazards are lurking. We followed PathogenDx into a commercial cannabis operation as they tested for a wide range of contaminants that can impact the health of the overall grow. Milan Patel, the CEO, talks about the importance of education and testing in a successful IPM program. Then, we invite Ron Romano and Jim Harris from SafetyNet to discuss their preventative treatments to help growers reduce the threat of bio-contaminants and technologies available to help maintain personnel decontamination as well. Most importantly, our guests remind growers that these solutions don't have to be expensive and will help the industry self-regulate as the federal legal status shifts in the coming years.
