Problem
Hemp and cannabis farmers face challenges in optimizing crop management due to the need for accurate and timely testing of THC levels and plant sex, which traditionally requires sending samples to off-site labs and waiting days or weeks for results. This delay can lead to non-compliance with regulations, reduced yields, and increased labor costs.
Solution
Mariposa Technology provides a handheld Raman spectrometer integrated with a proprietary database, enabling rapid, on-site testing of hemp and cannabis crops. The PAMAP (Predictive Analytical Modeling Application for Plants) system delivers immediate and accurate results for THC levels and plant sex determination without damaging the plant. This allows farmers to proactively manage their crops, ensuring compliance with THC limits, optimizing harvest timing, and identifying and removing male or hermaphrodite plants early in the growth cycle. The system leverages advanced mathematics and algorithms to provide actionable insights, empowering farmers to make data-driven decisions and improve crop quality and yield.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes hemp and cannabis farmers, researchers, and regulators who require rapid, accurate, and on-site testing solutions for THC levels and plant sex determination to optimize crop management and ensure regulatory compliance.
