文摘

Deficit irrigating hops caused reductions in dried hop cone yield. Hop cone quality was not significantly affected by water stress. Water productivity increased with increasing water stress. Deficit irrigation should be applied to only already established hop plants. Using less water led to greater revenue loss than savings in costs of production.
