Cannabis sativa L. Manual de Producción del Estado de Nueva York

El Manual de Producción de Cannabis sativa L. del Estado de Nueva York tiene como objetivo proporcionar los dates y hallazgos actuales sobre el cultivo sostenible de todas las formas de C. sativa, tanto de cáñamo como de uso médico y recreativo a cultivadores y miembros de la industria del Cannabis. El fin del manual es que sus usuarios puedan lograr un rendimiento de alta calidad, rentable y conforme a las regulaciones. La producción de C.  sativa se utiliza para el desarrollo de productos cannabinoides como lo son productos terapéuticos, o productos a base de cáñamo como la fibra y el  grano. A medida que aumente la investigación y el conocimiento sobre el C. sativa, este manual se actualizará para incluir nueva información. Las perspectivas de los autores del manual están dirigidas en gran medida, pero no exclusivamente, a la industria en el Estado de Nueva York.

El manual también incluye información sobre el entorno regulatorio de la planta de C. sativa, una descripción de su cultivo, información sobre pruebas y clasificación, así como consejos sobre cómo producir un cultivo que cumpla con los estándares internacionales ambientales y laborales. Nuestro objetivo es ayudar a los cultivadores a maximizar el rendimiento, la calidad, la rentabilidad y la integridad del producto mientras se mantiene el cumplimiento regulatorio.

Community Gardens Soil Testing Program Accepting Applications

Soil testing supports the growth and expansion of community gardens by protecting the health and safety of the food produced in these gardens. CCE Harvest NY, in partnership with the NYS Department of Agriculture & Markets (AGM) and the Cornell Soil Health Lab, is offering eligible, food-producing gardens in New York State the opportunity to send soil samples for testing without charge.

The soil test will analyze samples for heavy metals and nutrient levels. Test results help gardeners make appropriate plans to produce high quality fruits, vegetables, and flowers. Technical support and education for participating growers will be provided by the CCE Harvest New York team. Learn more about the 2025 Community Gardens Soil Testing Program.

New York Urban Farms Sustainable Pest Management Fact Sheet Series

Cornell Cooperative Extension has partnered with dozens of urban farms across New York State to demonstrate and evaluate sustainable pest management strategies. Together with farmers, we found success using control methods that prevent or reduce crop losses through exclusion strategies, crop timing, host resistance, the introduction of beneficial organisms, and more. Regardless of management strategy used, common requirements for success include a knowledge of the pest and disease complex, preventative deployment and commitment to the process. The New York Urban Farms Sustainable Pest Management Fact Sheet Series includes case studies highlighting pest management techniques that New York urban farms have found valuable.

NYS Urban Growers Pest Management Needs Assessment

As part of a multi-year project exploring non-spray pest management options that are economically and environmentally sustainable for urban farms, we conducted a needs assessment with urban growers across New York State. The New York State Urban Growers Pest Management Needs Assessment presents findings on current pest management practices, challenges, and topics of future interest.
