Abstract: Stable nanoemulsions of a terpene-rich cannabidiol by-product (TP) and/or its distillate (DTP) can be used to effectively make pesticides, herbicides, and other bioactive products. A terpene-rich by-product (TP) can be provided, suitably by isolation from a commercial cannabidiol production process.
