PLANT HEALTH - HARVEST AND PEST CONTROL

Harvesting equipment like shears, cutters, trim trays, dry racks, moisture bags, humidity bags, gloves, trim bowl, are some tools growers use.

Insects feed off plant foliage causing leaves to turn pale and then drop. Some insects target and destroy roots. They also spread diseases from one plant to another via sap transfer and therefore must be prevented from entering the system. To help achieve this, filter the air supply, and minimize traffic into the growing area. To detect the presence of insects, use a magnifying glass to routinely inspect both sides of leaves, stems, medium and roots. “Yellow sticky traps” are also useful as a forewarning. Kill-a-mite, pest sprays are other products used.
