Two new resources are available online from Cornell Cooperative Extension’s Harvest New York Program:
The New York State Cannabis sativa L. Production Manual is now available en español: Estado de Nueva York Cannabis sativa L. Manual de Producción
Also new from Harvest New York: NYS Cannabis sativa L Guidebook. The Guidebook is an essential resource for cultivators in New York State, offering comprehensive guidelines on regulatory compliance and best practices in cultivation. It provides instructions on Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) to ensure product quality and safety.
The guidebook also includes Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies, featuring preventative measures, recommended products, and reactive protocols to manage pest issues effectively. To assist with diligent record-keeping, the guidebook offers product tracking sheets, IPM scouting logs, and forms for tracking product applications, helping cultivators streamline their tasks and maintain compliance.
This guidebook not only provides actionable guidelines but also facilitates data collection in this newly established industry. By using the included forms and logs, cultivators can contribute valuable data to help improve industry standards and practices.
