Pest control on a high in South America

摘要

In Uruguay and Argentina, medicinal cannabis is a relatively new commercial crop with a promising future - according to Luis Espinoza, Biobest Manager for Latin American Countries. While Uruguay has many small producers of recreational cannabis, legalised commercial production is hampered by Government regulations and controls - with only low tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) varieties legal. However, in the medicinal cannabis sector commercial growers have a greater degree of governmental freedom - in regard to varieties and propagation methods - making it a more attractive option.
