On a recent trip to one of our trial fields in Pasco, Washington, we had the opportunity to witness the progress of an onion field in its final stages before harvest. The onions are being carefully lifted and prepared, marking the culmination of months of growth and nurturing. In no time, these fresh, top-quality onions will be stocked at your local grocery store, ready to complement your next meal.
The Pacific Northwest is known for producing hops that can be devastated by pathogens such as Rhizoctonia solani, Verticillium, Fusarium, and Alternaria. These pathogens can result in stunted growth, wilting and root decay which drastically impact plant growth and consequently hop yield and quality.
