Effect of stripping hop plants in garden experiments
Experiments at South Barter Agricultural College on Wye examined stripping hop plants of lower leaves and side shoots. Results show stripped plots yielded about 3 percent less green hops than unstripped plots in a normal year, with greater losses in poorer conditions, while in a year of strong growth plants recovered best when stripping was delayed. The report notes stripping can provide a check but may reduce eventual yield, and recommends careful timing based on season and growth.
