  • Hemp Arthropod Pests ID Deck
    Field Guide to Hemp Arthropod Pests

    Lance Osborne, Juanita Popenoe, Zachary Brym, Alexandra Revynthi


    Industrial hemp, a variety of Cannabis sativa containing less than 0.03% THC, can be legally grown with permits in Florida. Due to its long-standing inclusion on the controlled substance list in the U.S., knowledge of its pests and diseases has been limited, and once, control measures were nonexistent. 

    This illustrated identification guide offers information and general management recommendations for hemp arthropod pests found in Florida, including aphids, mites, caterpillars, thrips, whitefly, beetles, mealybugs, stink bugs, lygus bugs, and grasshoppers.
