THE SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH PROGRAM
Lophophora williamsii showing good harvesting technique
Peyote harvest regrowth –
Reharvest of regrowth after 2 years
PNF – Plant not found.
TNF – Tag not found.
nd – No data available.
– – Missing data.
Two years following the initial harvesting the survivors of our harvest group were divided into two parts and all new growth was reharvested from half of them.
Images of the tags can be viewed via the links for the tag numbers and images of the actual plants that were harvested in our study can be viewed using the links in
the column headed "Regrowth as number of pups". Images of the reharvested group can be found in the far right column.
Plant No.
