“There are few herbicides approved for use in hop crops,” says Marcelo Moretti, Ph.D., of Oregon State University. Weed control in hops involves a delicate balance. Such competitors can siphon away moisture and nutrients, provide a home to harmful pathogens and insects, and interfere with hops training and harvesting. hop growers battle a variety of annual and perennial weeds – from Italian ryegrass, common lambsquarters, kochia, Russian thistle and redroot pigweed to Canada thistle, yellow nutsedge, field bindweed, quackgrass and bermudagrass. Cone-like flowers harvested from female plants flavor the beer and extend its shelf-life.
