2. Vegetation stage


Dry June has significantly influenced the growth of hops. During July hops grown to the height of the top of the hop gardens construction (7m). But the most of vegetation has got the shape of conical. The hop is in the stage of flowering and ripenning at this time. The blossoms are very nice and there will be good ripenning thanks to good rainfalls. We expect the beginning of the harvest around 18. 8. 2014. We guess yield around 1.1 tons per ha going out of the stage of growth.

3. Pests and diseases


Hops are all together in healthy stage. Protection is very well managed against downy mildew and animal pests.
