Emerging Weed Science Hemp Research with Karla Gage #74
Want to talk about weed? Of course you do, this is the cannabis advocate podcast. Right? But that's not exactly the topic for today. We meet Dr. Karla Gage an Assistant Professor of Weed Science and Plant Biology at Southern Illinois University Carbondale (SIUC). I met Carla at the SIU Hemp and Cannabis Symposium. Karla does weed management research, planning and control in agricultural, grassland, forest, and aquatic ecosystems. In this episode we talk about the work she's is doing in the cannabis and hemp space and how her research can help farmers and the implications on the cannabis industry. This is one episode of a three part series. In the next episode we'll go onsite and visit one of her hemp research plots and get a tour by one of her grad students. In the third episode we'll meet one of genetics researchers and what they are doing to create strains that express minor cannabinoids. Stay tuned!
