| Abstract | ||
| Hops (Humulus lupulus L.) is a perennial plant and belongs to Cannabinaceae family, cultivated in many parts of the world for medicinal and industrial uses. It’s native to Golestan Province. This survey was carried out during 2000-2003 to achieve the best method for cultivation of H. lupulus in Gorgan. In this research, four methods of cultivation (seeding, cutting, underbrush, and layering) were performed in a randomized complete blocks design with four replications. Results showed significant differences with regard to the plant's establishment between the methods of underbrush, layering and seeding with cutting (p < 0/01). Significant differences were also observed with regard to the yield of Humulus lupulus under different cultivation methods as underbrush and layering methods respectively with a yield of 1610 and 1338 kgha-1 showed higher yield than that of seeding and cutting methods with 687 and 28.5 kgha-1 respectively (p < 0/01). Totally, underbrush method is recommended for Gorgan region due to the suitable establishment and high yield in comparison with three other methods. | ||
