Different types of plant stress, 1:(LAR), 2:(SAR), 3:(SGS), 4:(ISR), 5:(SWR)

Here are brief explanations of the different types of plant stress :

  1. LAR (Low Active-Rhizosphere) Stress: This type of stress occurs when there is a low level of activity in the soil around the plant’s roots. It can be caused by factors such as poor soil structure, low nutrient availability, and waterlogging.

  2. SAR (Systemic Acquired Resistance) Stress: This is a type of stress response in which the plant develops a systemic resistance to pathogens and other stresses after being exposed to them. This response is triggered by the production of signaling molecules and can help the plant better defend itself against future stressors.

  3. SGS (Systemic Growth Signal) Stress: This type of stress occurs when the plant is under stress and produces a systemic signal that triggers growth in other parts of the plant. This can help the plant allocate resources to areas that need it most.

  4. ISR (Induced Systemic Resistance) Stress: This is a type of stress response in which the plant produces compounds that help it resist pathogens and other stresses. This response is triggered by the presence of beneficial microorganisms in the soil or on the plant’s surface.

  5. SWR (Soil Water Repellency) Stress: This type of stress occurs when the soil becomes hydrophobic and repels water, preventing the plant from taking up water and nutrients. This can be caused by factors such as soil compaction, high temperatures, and low organic matter content.

Several environmental stress factors have been shown to dramatically increase cannabinoid production in cannabis plants.

It’s important to note that the effects of these stress factors on cannabinoid production can vary depending on the specific strain of cannabis and the growing conditions.

In addition, while some stress factors may increase cannabinoid production, they can also have negative effects on plant growth and overall yield.

Therefore, it’s important to carefully monitor and manage environmental stresses in order to optimize both cannabinoid production and plant health.
