Bruce Bugbee, Ph.D., of Utah State University, calls his recent research yielding a new definition of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) the most significant finding of his career to date. Although Bugbee and the USU team are well-known for their cannabis lighting studies, they also investigate other areas of cultivation, including how cannabis responds to different nutrient concentrations and how to optimize temperature at different phases in the plant lifecycle.
Bugbee will once again share his latest research with Cannabis Conference attendees in this back-by-demand, highly anticipated session, which will include key findings on:
- Bugbee’s new definition of PAR, how cannabis responds and how growers can adjust their cultivation practices to maximize light penetration without stretching plants;
- the relationship between light intensity and cannabis yields;
- the ideal rates of phosphorus and other cannabis nutrients to maximize growth;
- how the micronutrient copper plays a role in disease control;
… and more!
SPEAKER: Dr. Bruce Bugbee, Professor of Crop Physiology, Utah State University
