Image if you had a device to scan your hemp to determine not only the sex of your plants, but CBD and THC content too.

If this sounds like a game changer to you, then be prepared for the game to change.

New Orleans-based Mariposa Technology\\u2019s PAMAP does just that. It will not only sex your plants, but can give you accurate information on your cannabinoid levels, as well as other useful data for your growing operation.

PAMAP is short for \\u201cpredictive analytical modeling application for plants\\u201d and was designed by Mariposa Technology to help with some of the common pain points in floral hemp production: sexing and testing.

This week on the Hemp Podcast, we talk to Mariposa Technology co-founder and CEO John Roberts and COO Michael Dalle Molle, who explain the new technology.

PAMAP is a handheld device that uses an agilent resolve spectrometer that shoots a laser to excite the molecules in a hemp plant, creating a molecular fingerprint.

\\u201cAnd when you have that structural knowledge of the living plant,\\u201d Roberts said, \\u201cthen you can make all types of determinations about its health and other characteristics and chemical makeup.\\u201d

The device has implications for other ag sectors beyond the cannabis plant, but hemp was a logical place for the company to start.

\\u201cWe really wanted to focus on hemp because we see the pain points in the hemp industry as being the most significant and, to be quite honest, the most easily fixed by our device,\\u201d Dalle Molle said.
