In 2021 I worked with the IR-4 testing several organic and conventional (synthetic) acaricides for hemp grown outdoors. This was the only study of this type nationally. After sending my report to the agency my work that was only sponsored initially for 1-yr received funds for an extra year. This work on hemp russet mite has even passed state lines, I received congratulations on the quality of job from a well-known company (Oregon-CBD): the message read as follows: “I recently read your IR-4 report on managing russet mites in hemp. The report represents super valuable information for the industry, and I appreciate all of your work to produce this and other research for the cannabis industry”. In addition, an article is being published based on this job.
