Hop Variety Origin

Humulus lupulus L.

The origin of a hop variety is a qualitative characteristic reflecting the history of its development, breeding method, and geographical affiliation without quantitative metrics.

In the reference 36 varieties crop Common hop, where this is mentioned in the description.

For hops, origin serves as an important identifier of the varietal type, determining whether it belongs to 'aromatic' or 'bitter' types, which directly correlates with the biochemical composition of essential oils and the alpha-acid content in the cones.

This parameter is closely linked to ecological adaptation, as varieties are sensitive to the photoperiod and climate of the region of breeding. Genetic traits established during variety development predetermine its growing season, development rate, yield, and resistance to local pathogens, including downy mildew.
