Field Guide to Hemp Arthropod PestsLance 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.

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.
