Meet SaDIVA, InDUCKa, and HIGHbird: Ducks Managing Pests in Cannabis Cultivation

Edun's cannabis cultivation facility employs an innovative integrated pest management strategy using three ducks—SaDIVA, InDUCKa, and HIGHbird—to naturally control insects and pests among cannabis plants. This sustainable approach eliminates the need for chemical pesticides while maintaining plant health and yield quality. By integrating livestock into cultivation environments, growers can reduce exposure to synthetic compounds that may contaminate final products. This method represents a growing trend in responsible cannabis agriculture, combining ecological farming practices with medical-grade cultivation standards. The approach is particularly relevant for Puerto Rico's emerging cannabis industry, which prioritizes clean cultivation methods for therapeutic and recreational markets.
