Digipath files provisional patent for terpene technology to help put a stopper on costly mould infections in cannabis and hemp cultivation

“Mould presents a difficult problem for many cannabis cultivators, resulting in a failure rate of approximately 10 percent flower harvests in Nevada, with higher failure rates in California,” the company reports. “Mould infections cost cultivators significant money and time, and present potential health risks for consumers,” it adds.

With regard to pesticides, “through its testing lab operations in Nevada, Digipath has observed a roughly one percent failure rate of cannabis flower submitted for testing due to pesticide issues. Results in neighbouring states like California are significantly worse, upwards of 20 percent in some areas,” the company press release states.

Though the company’s efforts are focused on its core market of cannabis, Digipath’s “science team believes that there are other large agricultural markets for this technology.”
