2. Spring works and vegetation stage
The spring works namely the cutting of hops were on time thanks to warm and dry weather. By the end of April the wires were installed at the hopgardens and started the training of the hybrid varieties (Sladek and Premiant). We estimate the start of the training of the main variety Saaz in the period from 8th May, 2011 till 10th May, 2011. Preventive chemical treatment against downy mildew is running also.
