The influence of hop drying parameters on aroma hop quality in American deep bed drying

Creator:

Rubottom, Lindsey N.

Abstract:

American hop growers have historically dried hops in the range of 140-155°F/ 60-68°C using deep bed kilns (24 – 32 inches/ 60 – 81 cm), but over the last 10 years they have shifted to lower temperatures (125 -135 °F/ 52 – 57°C) for drying new American aroma cultivars. Reduced...

Science Takes Flight: Detection of Black Leg on Turnip Gray Mold on Hemp

Creator:

Bates, Taylor A.

Abstract:

Disease detection through traditional techniques such as scouting fields on foot, molecular assays, or morphological identification of plant pathogens is time consuming and costly. Disease diagnosis in the field can be extremely subjective, and largely depends on the experience and knowledge of pathogen identification and disease quantification. This thesis provides...

Examinations of Fusarium sambucinum on Humulus lupulus and co-infection with hop stunt viroid in commercial hop fields

Creator:

Cerruti, Natasha R.

Abstract:

After an unusually high incidence of Fusarium canker was observed in commercial hop fields of the Pacific Northwest, field surveys were conducted and revealed that canker incidence ranged from 20 to 60% of bines sampled in six commercial fields, as well as wide-spread Hop stunt viroid infection in these six...
