Abstract
Although the open winter and dry spring greatly assisted cultivation, many hop yards in the West Midlands were adversely affected by the June drought; in Kent severe storms in early August caused heavy losses and the total percentage of annual quota picked reached only 75%. The use of systemic insecticides has simplified control of the hop-damson aphis and virtually eliminated red spider, and defoliation of the lower bines by tar oil preparations has additionally given adequate control of annual weeds. Botrytis proved unusually troublesome in the West Midlands, but two new fungicides show considerable promise. Mechanized picking continues to increase and greater attention is being directed to temperature control during drying. The quality of the crop is only average and Goldings may be scarce, but many useful samples of Fuggles are available.
