Description
Taylor and Francis Ltd Handbook of Cannabis Production in Controlled Environments 1st Edition 2022 Softbound by Zheng, Youbin
This is a must-have book for all commercial and hobby growers - it serves as a production guide to cannabis producers, researchers, industry supporters and students!! Contains comprehensive information on all aspects of cannabis production. There are a few hundred large and many small cannabis production operations in North America - contact them. Contact suppliers including fertilizer companies, insect control companies, pathogen control companies, water treatment companies, greenhouse and environmental control companies, and lighting companies. Many countries are legalizing the medical use of cannabis the medical use and recreational use of cannabis - this teaches users optimal drug harvesting techniques for key quality through controlled environments. Although there are many books published on cannabis, they do not focus on cultivation - this book is the first of its kind (the proposal reviewers say it is desperately needed) and is written by scientists at different universities or research institutions who have been conducting cannabis research; some chapters are written in collaboration with university trained practitioners who are currently involved in commercial cannabis production. University of Guelph has developed and currently teaching a fourth-year undergraduate course titled "Cannabis Production." More institutions, both in Canada and in other countries, are currently planning to offer this course to more and more students.
