Hop breeding is long lasting procedure where main growing goals and demands of the consumers are followed. The main hop consumers are breweries since 99% of hop yield is used for beer brewing. Slovenian cultivars are growing on 98% of the Slovenian hop growing fields. In 2017 new variety Styrian Kolibri was registered. Variety was selected from cross between European and American germplasm. Although new variety, it was already accepted by farmers and planted on hop fields due to the high yield and interesting aroma character. Due to its flower aroma notes is very appreciated in craft beer market.

COBISS.SI-ID: 8691065To support farmers and advisory services we prepared a professional manual which contain basic information on severe hop stunt disease, recognizing, and disease measures which are crucial for eradication from Slovene hop gardens. The manual is written based on experiences from other similar diseases, and results of our own research studies which were performed in Slovenian Institute of Hop Research and Brewing (IHPS) and on Biotechnical Faculty in Ljubljana. The manual is public accessible on web page of Administration of the Republic of Slovenia for Food Safety, Veterinary Sector and Plant Protection and on web page of IHPS. http://www.ihps.si/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Huda-viroidna-zakrnelost-hmelja-2017.compressed.pdf
