Impact of Soil Quality on Cannabinoid and Terpenoid Content of <i>Cannabis sativa</i> L.

ABSTRACT: Cannabis sativa L., or 'hemp,' is an expanding commodity that relies heavily on its chemical constituents for its therapeutic effects and legal status. Growing conditions are critical for obtaining an anticipated chemical profile for any given hemp cultivar, a vital component of this process is soil composition. This study evaluates the effect that soil has on cannabinoid and terpenoid content by comparing the extracts of two hemp cultivars grown similarly in two fields differing in soil preparation including a cover crop no tillage field (CC) usage and a conventional tillage field (CF). Hemp inflorescence from two cultivars (Tangerine and CBG Stem Cell), were extracted using supercritical fluid extraction techniques, and extracts were analyzed by a Pennsylvania-approved medical mar
