It has been estimated that about 80% of hop farmers in Poland apply special multi-component foliage fertilizers that usually contain elevated zinc levels. Zinc deficiency in hop-gardens is related not only to its absence in the soil, but also to an excess of phosphorus in the soil blocking its uptake, particularly where soil reaction is neutral or alkaline. In the present paper, results of application of multi-component foliar fertilizers currently recommended in Poland on the yield of cones and alpha-acids content of two hop varieties have been reviewed. The results indicate a remarkable influence of the fertilizers applied on cone yield (an increase by 20.5% for the Lubelski cv. and 11.3% for the Marynka cv., on average), and an increasing tendency of the alpha-acids levels in cones. Among the fertilizers tested, the best results were achieved for the Chmiel-Vit characterized by a high zinc (1.5% Zn), magnesium (8.4% Mg), boron (0.8% B) and titanium (0.03% Ti) levels.
