5 Cascade Centennial Chinook Cluster Crystal Fuggle Galena Glacier Hallertau Liberty Mt Hood Newport Nugget Perle Saaz Santiam Sterling Tettnang Vanguard Willamette

6 High performance cultivars Yields among the best (1000 to 1500 lb/a): Centennial Chinook Newport Cascade Nugget Galena

7 Low performance cultivars Yields among the five worst (below 500 lb/a) : Liberty Crystal Saaz Sterling Cluster

8 High performance cultivars Yields among the best (800 to 400 lb/a): Centennial Chinook Newport Cascade Nugget Galena (best in 2015) 2015 Yields Disappointing?

9 What is Driving Yields? Fertility Pests Training Timing Growing Season

10 Downy Mildew Life Cycle Systemic (year after year) Overwinters in buds and crown Primary basal spikes emerge in spring Spores travel, landing on leaves Image Credit: Dr. Lily Calderwood In-Season Infection

11 Ideal Downy Mildew Conditions 36 of 108 of days, or 33% of days, between 1-May and 16-Sep increased downy mildew susceptibility

12

13 Hop Downy Mildew Systemic (year after year) What can you do? 1. Predict emergence 2. Reduce habitable area for spores Overwinters in buds and crown Primary basal spikes emerge in spring Spores travel, landing on leaves In-Season Infection

14 Mechanical Control Crowning removal top 1 to 2 inches of crown before bud break (April) Scratching disks scratch soil and remove buds from crown (Early May) Pruning removal of shoots before training (Mid-Late May)

34 High performance cultivars Yields among the best (1000 to 1500 lb/a): Centennial Chinook Newport Cascade Nugget Galena Should do Well in our Climate What is Limiting Yields?

35 Managing Downy Mildew with Fungicides Variety Trial Spray Schedule

36 Hop Cone Discoloration Cone browning from Alternaria + Phoma Healthy Dark bracts from downy mildew or other secondary infection Severe dry-down from disease

37 Spores Identified on Hop Cones (Severity Scale 0-5) Mean Spore Abundance on Cones Sampled Fusarium Downy Mildew Cercospera Phoma Alternaria Pathogen

38 Hop Requirements PRODUCE 5000 LBS DM/acre 3.0% Nitrogen = 150 Lbs 2.0% Potassium = 100 Lbs 0.50% Phosphorus = 25 lbs CONES 1/3 to 1/2 of DM/acre 3.0% Nitrogen = 75 Lbs 2.0% Potassium = 50 Lbs 0.50% Phosphorus = 12.5 lbs

39 Nitrogen Removal by Variety Added 169 lbs N acre Expected Range

49 Hop Plant Defenses Liberty Centennial Peltate Trichome (Lupulin Gland) Bulbous Trichome Area Measured = cm 2

50 Hop Plant Defenses

51 Effect of Cover Crops on Potato Leafhopper A large, established stand of clover served as a PLH trap crop

52 Leafhoppers were more attracted to a full stand of clover than hop plants. Highest # PLH in Clover Drive Rows P < 0.005

53 In years with high PLH population and well established clover stand > > Clover stand (10 x 30 ft) Hop plants Diverse mix (Polyculture)

54 Trap Crop Management Do not mow the legume! How big does a legume stand need to be? Would clover or alfalfa work better? What is the ideal distance from trap crop to hops? Do the leafhoppers need to be removed from the trap crop?
