The leaves on my cascade hops are turning yellow then brown then dropping off. It starts at the bottom of the bines and works up. It is now happening on 2 cascades and starting on a comet. These are just in a home garden.

Expert Response
Hop leaves can turn brown for a number of reasons, including diseases, pests, and other factors:
The hop variety Cascade is sensitive to water stress compared to other varieties, and the combination of a minor water deficient and perhaps fertilizer or salts in the soil could initially cause hop leaf margins to turn brown.
