Hop growing conditions are suitable for the climate of the growing area

Hops Growing Conditions

Hops prefer a cool environment and are relatively cold-resistant, but not heat-resistant. They have a wide adaptability to soil, but are suitable for planting in loam that is deep, loose, fertile, and well-drained, either neutral or slightly alkaline soil.

Hop Growing Climate

The most suitable temperature for the growth and development of hops is 14-25℃, and the temperature in early spring is about 16℃. It requires a frost-free period of about 120 days. It is a long-day plant and prefers a sunny environment. The annual sunshine hours require 1700 to 2600 hours.

Hop growing regions

The climate in different regions is also different. Hops not only need sufficient sunlight, but the climate temperature also needs to be controlled at 16-25 degrees so that it can grow well. The planting environment temperature must not exceed 30 degrees, otherwise the seeds will find it difficult to take root and germinate.
