Response of Cannabis sativa L. to Inorganic Fertilization (N, P, K): Biomass, Nutrient Uptake and Cannabinoids Profile
Abstract Cannabis sativa L. is a high-value medicinal crop whose nutritional requirements and fertilization strategies remain poorly defined, particularly in relation to cannabinoid production. This study evaluated the effects of inorganic fertilization (N, P, [...]
Current Context of Cannabis sativa Cultivation and Parameters Influencing Its Development
Abstract Cannabis sativa L. is a versatile plant with significant medicinal, industrial, and recreational applications. Its therapeutic potential is attributed to cannabinoids like THC and CBD, whose production is influenced by environmental factors, such [...]
Improved Biomass Production and Secondary Metabolism: A Critical Review of Grafting in Cannabis sativa
Abstract Cannabis sativa L. is a versatile plant with applications in various sectors such as agriculture, medicine, food, and cosmetics. The therapeutic properties of cannabis are often linked to its secondary compounds. The worldwide [...]
Methyl Jasmonate and Ammonium Bicarbonate: Distinct and Synergistic Impacts on Indoor Cannabis Production Dynamics
Abstract As high-CBD cannabis (Cannabis sativa L.) gains legal and commercial relevance in the United States, studies evaluating how external inputs impact critical traits remain limited. This study investigates the effects of methyl jasmonate [...]

Impact of Electron Beam Treatment and Storage Duration on Microbial Stability and Phytochemical Integrity in Hemp Flowers
Abstract This study compared the effects of storage time and electron beam (EB) irradiation on microbial counts and chemical stability of dried flowers from two hemp cultivars over 12 weeks. Cannabinoid and terpene content, as [...]
Automated IoT-Based Monitoring of Industrial Hemp in Greenhouses Using Open-Source Systems and Computer Vision
Abstract Monitoring the development of greenhouse crops is essential for optimising yield and ensuring the efficient use of resources. A system for monitoring hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) cultivation under greenhouse conditions using computer vision [...]
Single trichome phytocannabinomics of two different cannabis varieties
Abstract The present study investigates the phytocannabinoid profiles of Cannabis sativa L. by analyzing individual glandular trichomes from both a medicinal cannabis variety (FM2) and a high-CBD (cannabidiol) hemp variety. The analysis was performed [...]
Bracts, Buds, and Biases: Uncovering Gaps in Trichome Density Quantification and Cannabinoid Concentration in Cannabis sativa L.
Abstract Trichomes in cannabis (Cannabis sativa L.) are specialized structures responsible for cannabinoid and terpene biosynthesis, making their density a critical parameter for both research and industrial applications. However, consistent trichome density assessment remains [...]
