Fungal Pathogens
Fungal pathogens represent a category of microorganisms that breeders and cultivators monitor during cannabis development and storage. Common fungal threats include Botrytis (gray mold), powdery mildew, and various root pathogens, which thrive in high-humidity or poorly-ventilated environments. Understanding fungal pressure is essential for selective breeding, as some genetic lines demonstrate greater resistance to specific fungal species than others. Lineage records frequently document cultivar susceptibility or tolerance based on observed field performance and environmental stress response. Fungal management directly influences seed viability, clone health, and long-term genetic preservation protocols.

Breeders working in regions with high humidity or extended wet seasons actively select for parent plants showing reduced fungal susceptibility. Preservation and storage practices—including controlled humidity, temperature, and airflow—help minimize fungal colonization of seed banks and tissue cultures over time.
