Pesticide Resistance
Pesticide resistance in cannabis genetics is not a terpene, but rather a plant trait influenced by genetic expression and cultivation practices. While some terpenes and secondary metabolites are theorized to play defensive roles in plants, resistance to specific pesticides is primarily a matter of breeding selection, pest management protocols, and integrated pest management (IPM) strategies rather than a chemical compound. Breeders working with pest-hardy lineages often select for plants showing reduced susceptibility to common cannabis pests and mites. This approach combines genetic selection with environmental controls and targeted cultivation methods.

Cannabis breeders incorporate pest-resistance traits through selective breeding of parent plants that demonstrate lower infestation rates or faster recovery from pest damage. Lineages bred for outdoor resilience or regional adaptation often carry polygenic traits contributing to natural pest tolerance, though these are distinct from terpene profiles.
