Abstract

The recent exponential growth of craft beer sector led many brewers to seeking strategies to differentiate their beers from other similar products. For emerging hop-producing countries, one of these strategies relied on the use of local hops, thus taking advantage of the “terroir” effect. This market trend has increased the demand for raw materials from breweries, with positive effects on agricultural production, including hops. However, lack of knowledge along all the hop supply chain heavily hinders the development of a steady and efficient hop production. Particularly, growers urgently need information about the best agronomic practices, which should be adopted to achieve a sustainable hop production, under both conventional and organic farming. Unfortunately, studies on basic hop farming are scarce and often inadequate. The aim of this review is to analyze what agronomic research has done working on hops in the new growing areas (e.g., Brazil, Florida, France, Italy and Virginia) and what it has still to do to facilitate the hop growers in building and conducting their own hopyard. Through this analysis, we also aimed to provide directions for policymakers and scientific community that want to develop a hop supply chain starting from its basis. The review highlighted that while the screening of existing hop commercial cultivars was adequately referenced, the agronomic practices and growing technics suited for each new growing zone are still little studied or completely unknown. The use of artificial LED lighting is a key theme at the lowest latitudes of Florida and Brazil, organic management is pivotal in Italy and France, while alternative trellis design and hop breeding plans represent the shared research interest in all the emerging hop growing zones.

在新的种植区发展酒花种植:技术现状和前进方向
近来,手工啤酒行业的迅猛发展促使许多啤酒酿造商开始寻求将自己的啤酒与其他同类产品区分开来的策略。对于新兴啤酒花生产国来说,这些策略之一就是使用当地啤酒花,从而利用 "风土 "效应。这一市场趋势增加了酿酒厂对原材料的需求,对包括酒花在内的农业生产产生了积极影响。然而,酒花供应链上所有环节的知识匮乏严重阻碍了稳定高效的酒花生产的发展。特别是,种植者迫切需要有关最佳农艺措施的信息,以便在常规和有机种植中实现酒花的可持续生产。遗憾的是,有关基本酒花种植的研究很少,而且往往不够充分。本综述的目的是分析在新的酒花种植区(如巴西、佛罗里达、法国、意大利和弗吉尼亚)对酒花进行了哪些农艺学研究,以及在帮助酒花种植者建立和管理自己的酒花种植园方面还有哪些工作要做。通过分析,我们还希望为希望从酒花供应链的基础开始发展酒花供应链的政策制定者和科学界提供指导。综述强调,虽然对现有酒花商业栽培品种的筛选已经有了充分的参考,但对适合每个新种植区的农艺实践和种植技术仍然研究甚少或完全未知。在纬度最低的佛罗里达和巴西,使用LED人工照明是一个关键主题,在意大利和法国,有机管理是关键,而替代性棚架设计和酒花育种计划则代表了所有新兴酒花种植区的共同研究兴趣。

期刊介绍: The European Journal of Agronomy, the official journal of the European Society for Agronomy, publishes original research papers reporting experimental and theoretical contributions to field-based agronomy and crop science. The journal will consider research at the field level for agricultural, horticultural and tree crops, that uses comprehensive and explanatory approaches. The EJA covers the following topics: crop physiology crop production and management including irrigation, fertilization and soil management agroclimatology and modelling plant-soil relationships crop quality and post-harvest physiology farming and cropping systems agroecosystems and the environment crop-weed interactions and management organic farming horticultural crops papers from the European Society for Agronomy bi-annual meetings In determining the suitability of submitted articles for publication, particular scrutiny is placed on the degree of novelty and significance of the research and the extent to which it adds to existing knowledge in agronomy.
