Research 👨‍🔬🔬🧫🧪 

The Cannabis Biology and Cultivation Systems lab focuses on areas of controlled environment agriculture, plant secondary metabolites, nutraceutical/pharmaceutical biology, and growing practices. The research team aims to determine how to leverage environmental controls (light intensity, duration, quality, temperature, and CO2), phenolics, plant nutrition, biostimulants, and hormones to improve plant yield and quality. More specifically, we are working on the development of techniques to maximize cannabinoids, non-cannabinoids (terpenes and flavonoids), fiber, and grain productivity/quality via plant physiological, biochemical, and agricultural approaches. .
