Este originar din Asia Occidentală, Europa și America de Nord. Face parte din familia Cannabaceae, genul Humulus.
Este o plantă cățărătoare, perenă, cu rizom ca tulpină de înmagazinare subterană și frunze lobate. Prezintă flori feminine și masculine în plante separate, iar fructul său este o achenă.
Se folosește la fabricarea berii și a câștigat importanță datorită cererii în industria alimentară și medicală.
Principalii producători sunt Germania, Cehia și Slovacia.
Dose:
- 1 - 2 L/Ha
Moment:
- During stress conditions (chilling, plagues, disease, phytotoxicities, etc.)
Application purpose:

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.
