South Asian Genetics
South Asian genetics refer to cannabis lineages originating from or heavily influenced by landrace populations across India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Nepal. These traditional cultivars have been selected over centuries in diverse climates ranging from high-altitude mountain regions to tropical lowlands, resulting in distinct phenotypic and chemotypic profiles. Breeders recognize South Asian genetics as sources of robust plant architecture, natural pest resistance, and terpene profiles often tagged as spicy, herbal, or resinous. Preservation efforts by cannabis genetic libraries have documented several landrace populations to maintain breeding diversity and historical genetic records.

Cannabis breeders incorporate South Asian landrace genetics to enhance environmental resilience and introduce novel terpene combinations into modern hybrids. These lineages are frequently selected for crossing programs aimed at creating photoperiod-sensitive or high-altitude-adapted cultivars.
