What's Up with Hops?

What’s Up with Hops? The Value of Soil Sampling An agronomic soil test allows the portion of the plantavailable nutrients contained within a soil sample to be

extracted. The results are then classified as low, medium, high or very high based on expected crop response to added crop nutrients. Soils that test low to medium are likely to show improved yield and quality if a specific nutrient is added while soils that test high to very high are not likely to respond with as large of a yield increase to a specific nutrient that is added to the soil. Managing the nutrient content of the soil is one key to optimum performance of any plant and soil testing is a required component of nutrient management plans for many farming operations.

Soil Sampling Soil Sampling Depth and Cost Soils that hops will be grown on should be sampled at least once every three years although sampling every year gives a more complete evaluation and is appropriate when significant changes have been made in the fertilizer program. Samples should be taken in the top foot of the hop plant row so that you have a good idea of what is available for plant uptake during the growing
season. Each sample sent to Dairy One
costs $12.
Use a stainless steel probe as seen above or an auger for best results.
