      Is Hops Latent Viroid Reducing Your Potency? The Dangers and Prevalence of HLVd in New Mexico

      Is Hops Latent Viroid Reducing Your Potency? The Dangers and Prevalence of HLVd in New Mexico

      Hops Latent Viroid is a disease that infects cannabis and hops plants. Cannabis plants infected with HLVd can have reduced flower and THC production. HLVd is very difficult to eliminate once it has infected a plant and is becoming a prevalent issue in the cannabis industry. This presentation will describe how the viroid infects plants, how it is tested for, and provide best practices for preventing infection.
