Nativa da Ásia ocidental, da Europa e da América do Norte. Pertence à família Cannabaceae e ao género Humulus.
É uma planta trepadora, perene, com rizoma como talo de armazenamento subterrâneo e folhas lobuladas. Apresenta folhas femininas e masculinas em plantas separadas e o fruto é um aquénio.
Usa-se de forma industrial na fabricação de cerveja e ganhou importância devido às suas aplicações na indústria alimentar e medicinal.
Os principais produtores são a Alemanha, a República Checa e a Eslováquia.
Dose:
- 1 - 2 L/Ha
Moment:
- During stress conditions (chilling, plagues, disease, phytotoxicities, etc.)
Application purpose:
- Avoid damaging effect in the crop due to the excessive synthesis of Ethylene caused by different stress conditions.
Dose:
- 10 - 15 L/Ha
Moment:
- Periodic foliar applications every 15 days.
Application purpose:
- Continuous supply of Ureic Nitrogen, Calcium and Boron.
- Continuous stimulation of the root system.
- Controls apical dominance.
Dose:
- 0.5 - 1 L/Ha
Moment:
- Together with NITROPLUS and/or during flowering.
Application purpose:
- Vegetative and root system balance.
- Reinforces flowering.
Dose:
- 1 - 2 L/Ha
Moment:
- During stress conditions (chilling, plagues, disease, phytotoxicities, etc.)
Application purpose:
- Avoid damaging effect in the crop due to the excessive synthesis of Ethylene caused by different stress conditions.
Dose:
- 2 L/Ha
Moment:
- During Hight growth and inflorescence appearance.
Application purpose:
- Stimulates the synthesis and action of growth hormones, induces homogenous and intense flowerings, inhibiting flower abscission and reduces apical dominance.
Dose:
- 0.5 - 1 L/Ha
Moment:
- Together with NITROPLUS and/or during flowering.
Application purpose:
- Vegetative and root system balance.
- Reinforces flowering.
Dose:
- 2 - 3 L/Ha
Moment:
- 2 to 3 applications from flowering and umbel formation.
Application purpose:
- Supplies Calcium, Boron and the Stoller Technology to increase mechanical resistance of the cell walls and improve the crop’s health state.
- Reinforces flower and umbel formation.
Dose:
- 3 L/Ha
Moment:
- After umbel formation. Repeat 15 days later if the crop cycle extends.
Application purpose:
- Controls excessive vegetative growth.
- Stimulates ripening by concentrating photoassimilates in target organs (flowers) as well as the accumulation of reserves in the root system.
