The work also keeps track of how different growers approach fertilization and nutrition, as well as how often plant protection chemicals containing these ingredients are used. The Saaz hop variety samples from the primary Czech hop-growing regions, gathered in 2020 and 2021, were assessed. The average spindle length (14–18 mm), average number of spindle segments (9.3–11.9 pcs/needle) and conductometric parameters (2.7–4.7% w/w) in the samples were identified.</p> ER -
