A chemotaxic variety of a plant family, it is determined by examining the chemical makeup of the plant including the cannabinoids and terpenes. It is also known as chemotypes and refers to the breakdown of a plant species according to its chemical composition. Chemovar classification is pivotal for growers and breeders. Certain chemical characteristics determine, for example, whether a cannabis Indica plant has a greater CBD to THC ratio or vice versa.
