Abstract excerpt
Beet curly top virus (BCTV) has emerged as a major threat to hemp production in the western United States. Despite this concern, little is known about BCTV biology in hemp. This study investigated the incidence and genetic variability of BCTV strains, as well as the impact of BCTV infection on cannabinoid profiles, potential for seed transmission, and vector survival on hemp. Field surveys across five states...
