" The discovery of CsMIKC1 as a

cultivation in greenhouses. "
efficacy against rice root aphids across different plant
stages; however, some of these products present risks
of phytotoxicity, underscoring the need for a delicate
balance in pest management strategies.
Ongoing research at HESIC aims to develop effective
solutions for managing cannabis aphids and rice root
aphids, providing essential guidance to the industry.
POWER OF RETIPPING
A recent study from the University of Connecticut
introduced a cannabis propagation method that could
revolutionize cultivation practices. The method, called
" retipping, " has shown to be as effective as traditional
propagation techniques while significantly requiring
less space. Originally published in HortScience in 2023,
the research highlights the potential for enhanced
productivity in cannabis cultivation.
Led by Jessica Lubell-Brand, a professor of horticulture
at UConn's College of Agriculture, Health and Natural
Resources, the study involved taking cuttings from
vigorous, disease-free " mother " plants that were
micropropagated in controlled laboratory environments.
The study noted how retipping has the potential to
produce nine times as many plants in a similar amount of
floor space as stem cuttings from traditional stock mother
plants, an approach that could enable growers to maximize
output and quality in limited cultivation environments.
30 2025 GUIDE TO CANNABIS PRODUCTION
For the study, the research team compared three
propagation methods: microcuttings, traditional stem
cuttings and retip cuttings. All three methods resulted
in plants of comparable size and chemical composition,
producing cannabis flowers of equal quality. However,
retipping stood out as the most space-efficient, allowing
cultivators to produce a higher number of starter plants
without expanding their greenhouse facilities.
Traditional cannabis cultivation relies heavily on large
mother plants from which stem cuttings are harvested.
These conventional plants take up substantial space,
often accumulate diseases and can lose vigor over
time. In contrast, the micropropagated stock plants
used in this study are grown in sterile lab conditions,
ensuring specimens are disease-free and vigorous, while
occupying a fraction of the footprint of traditional
mother plants.
By employing the retipping technique, cultivators
can utilize these micropropagated plants effectively,
making use of their acclimated cuttings to enhance
overall output.
The research team emphasized that much remains
to learn about effective cultivation practices. v
