Exploiting Beneficial Pseudomonas spp. for Cannabis Production

Carole Balthazar et al.

Summary: This review discusses the opportunities and challenges of using beneficial Pseudomonas spp. bacteria as crop inoculants to improve cannabis yield. The prevalence and diversity of Pseudomonas strains within the cannabis microbiome are outlined, along with their potential mechanisms for promoting plant growth and stress tolerance. Specific aspects for hemp and marijuana crops in different production systems are emphasized. Factors influencing inoculant efficacy and strategies for strain selection, commercialization, and formulation design are also provided.

Emerging diseases of Cannabis sativa and sustainable management

Zamir K. Punja

Summary: This review discusses the challenges of diseases in the cannabis industry in Canada, as well as mitigation strategies such as pathogen identification, environmental modifications, sanitation measures, and the use of biological control agents. The lack of registered fungicides and the difficulty in reducing microbial loads on harvested inflorescences remain as major challenges for producers. Regulatory hurdles in utilizing biological control agents for disease management are also highlighted.

Phloroglucinol Derivatives in Plant-Beneficial Pseudomonas spp.: Biosynthesis, Regulation, and Functions

Adrien Biessy et al.

Summary: Plant-beneficial Pseudomonas spp. aggressively colonize the rhizosphere and produce secondary metabolites like DAPG, which has broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity and contributes to disease suppression. This review discusses the biosynthesis, regulation, and role of phloroglucinol derivatives in Pseudomonas, including their mode of action as antibiotics, signaling molecules, and potential pathogenicity factors. The genetic and genomic diversity of DAPG-producing Pseudomonas spp. and its importance for enhancing biocontrol of plant pathogens are also explored.

The bud rot pathogens infecting cannabis (Cannabis sativa L., marijuana) inflorescences: symptomology, species identification, pathogenicity and biological control

Zamir K. Punja et al.

Summary: The study found serious bud rot issues between cannabis and hemp fields, with major pathogens being Botrytis cinerea, B. pseudocinerea, B. porri, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Diaporthe eres and Fusarium graminearum. Sampling for bud rot and stem canker presence was conducted in seven indoor or outdoor cannabis production sites and three hemp fields during 2019-2020, revealing potential for disease control using several biological control agents.
