STUDIES REGARDING THE QUANTITATIVE CHARACTERS OF THE CONES AT SEVERAL HOPS CULTIVARS

Abstract

There were studied six Romanian hops cultivars regarding some morphological characters of the cones and productivity and qualitative characters in the conditions from Cluj-Napoca. The results of the experimental year s show hops cultivar are characterized by a large phenotipical variability of the morphological characters of cones. The hops cultivars taken into study were represented by Superalfa de Cluj, Productiv, Transilvania and Aroma, with cones of average size, a fine rachis and a large number of bract, accomplish productions of alpha acids of 173,1-278,5 kg/ha.
