Tips for Managing Hop Viruses in the Field

  1. Plant with propagation material that is virus indexed.
  2. Destroy and replace diseased plants with virus-indexed plants as soon as possible to limit spread.
  3. Start work in virus-indexed yards before working in infected yards, to preclude transferring pests and other vectors between locations.
  4. Decontaminate and wash equipment to remove sap and plant residue when moving between yards.
