In this video, we'll explore the importance of pathogen testing and how it prevents the spread of harmful pathogens like fusarium and pythium. We'll also delve into the world of plant virology and discuss the role of viroid detection in agriculture biosecurity. By understanding the risks associated with hop latent viroid and other pathogens, farmers and growers can take proactive measures to protect their crops and prevent devastating losses. Crop testing is essential in detecting these pathogens early on, and implementing effective control measures can make all the difference. Tune in to learn more about the critical role of pathogen testing in keeping you and your crops safe.

Description: There's more to sticky cards than I originally thought. The ones from Catchmaster are excellent. Sticky cards and sticky rolls should be used in conjunction with other methods for controlling insects. And you don't need the blue cards for thrips, the yellow work just fine. We have catchmaster sticky cards available on our website. </video> <video> Episode 140: Sustainability of Peat and Other Substrates with Dr. James Altland Description: Welcome to the Cannabis Cultivation and Science podcast, I'm your host Tad Hussey of KIS Organics. This is the podcast where we discuss the cutting edge of growing from a science based perspective and draw on top experts from around the industry to share their wisdom and knowledge. Now before starting the podcast I wanted to remind folks that we do have a patreon for growers who want access to the unedited podcasts weeks earlier as well as extra content on our own grows, virtual hangouts, a private discord channel and more that we don't share publicly. You can check it out for a free trial if interested to see if it can help you with your cultivation goals. My guest this week is Dr. James Altland. Dr. Altland is a Research Horticulturist and the Research Leader for the USDA-ARS Application Technology Research Unit also known as the ATRU. Although the role of the ATRU has historically been to develop new pesticide application technologies, it has shifted its focus in the last 5 years to developing CEA technologies. While leading a team of 10 scientists in various aspects of CEA from entomology, plant pathology, engineering, and horticulture, Dr. Altland's expertise encompasses the development of substrate technologies for containerized plant production.  With collaborations at Ohio State University, this has recently evolved into the microbial community analysis of container substrates.

In this episode, I talk with Christine Goedhart from the University of British Columbia about her recent Biology of Cannabis course and how she created the curriculum and also about how to evaluate an authoritative source of information. We also discuss the myriad of products and marketing that make it difficult to separate really good research from poor quality science. Christine is an experienced educator and educational developer with a specialization in teaching undergraduate biology courses. Currently serving as a Science Education Specialist at the University of British Columbia, she supports faculty in making their courses more equitable and student-centered, and she recently developed and taught an undergraduate Biology of Cannabis course. Previously, Christine spent eight years as a full-time faculty member at Citrus College, where she taught a variety of biology courses for non-major students. With a strong commitment to student-centered and inclusive education, Christine has effectively implemented innovative pedagogical and assessment strategies to enhance student engagement and learning in biology courses, and she shares information, tips, and evidence-based best practices for teaching in her Tips for Teaching blog article series.

Then in 2020 he received his PhD from Ashford University. Matthew started the first cannabis course at a public university at the University of Connecticut. I first found out about Matthew from his research on powdery mildew with cucurbits using raw milk, as it was circulating around the giant pumpkin community. Matthew also enjoys growing giant pumpkins and has held the state record twice with the largest weighing 1,885.5 lbs. In this episode we talk about the similarities between the giant pumpkin community and the cannabis community and how we might be able to utilize some of the advancements across the cultivation of these very different plants.
