Technology of cultivation of Civil hops in Chuvashia

Abstract

Due to the wide demand for hop raw materials against the background of sanctions of foreign countries against Russia, the culture of hop production began to revive in the Russian Federation. In addition to brewing, it is used in medicine, the baking and perfume industries. If earlier hops were grown in 11 regions of the Russian Federation, now only in the Chuvash Republic, Mari El and Altai Krai, there are also areas in the Ivanovo region. The total area of trellises for hops in the Russian Federation is about 400 hectares, of which less than half a hectare is cultivated in the Chuvash Republic [1]. At the same time, the production of hop cones does not meet even 1% of the total demand in the country. The revival of this forgotten culture is very slow, but nevertheless hop plantations are expanding their area thanks to the introduction of state support for the development of hop growing. Opportunities to increase the area and the gross hop harvest began to appear. At the moment, one of the problems is that there are almost no hop specialists left. Therefore, it is necessary to popularize the technology of cultivation of this crop in demand by the world community.
