The Government of the Czechoslovak Republic orders pursuant to § § 11 and 17 of the Act of 2 July 1924, No. 165 Coll., on the protection of plant production:
Hops growers in hop production areas (Section 1 of the Government Decree of 13 July 1934, No 161 Coll., implementing the Law of 4 May 1934, No 89 Coll., on the compulsory grading of hops and the adjustment of the extent of hop cultivation) are obliged to protect their load by appropriate means (Section 2) hop crops before infestation with hops (Epitetranychus altheae) and to kill them in all developmental stages (eggs, larvae of all developmental stages including nymphs and adults).
The means to protect hop crops from infestation by a stump of hops are:
(a) destruction of infected hop bushes, separated branches, leaves and heads of hops after harvesting, at the latest when the leaves are yellowed, cut, collected and disposed of, in particular by burning them, composted, after feeding, so as to prevent the wintering of the vertical;
(b) disinfecting [point (c)] by bars used to guide hop bushes, if they have previously been used in hops, affected by hops;
(c) timely and proper spraying by authorised plant protection products, containing sulphur compounds or other active substances notified by the competent plant protection institute (Section 5), as appropriate, to the local national committees of the hop communities and to the relevant regional operators of hops, in which case the Ministry of Agriculture shall inform the competent plant protection institute.
(1) The obligation imposed on hop growers in Sections 2 (b) and (c) shall be recalled by the local national committee of the municipalities where hops are grown each year in the first half of March, the obligation imposed in Section 2 (a) each year at the time of the harvest of hops.
(2) Local and district national committees and regional organisations of hop growers (§ 17, paragraph 3 of Act No. 89 / 1934 Coll.) ensure that the provisions of this Regulation are respected. Where it is found that the hops grower has failed to comply with the obligation referred to in paragraph 1 without justification, the necessary measures shall be taken by the local national committee for the costs of the grower; if the local national committee fails to do so, the measures shall be implemented by the district national committee.
(1) Where hops are present on a dangerous scale or there is a risk of such an occurrence, all owners of land in a municipality or in an otherwise designated area are obliged to implement the necessary measures together on their load.
(2) In the cases referred to in paragraph 1, the local national committee may decide that the municipality shall take the necessary measures in all or part of its district, where the owners of the land are obliged to abide by all such measures on their land and to be co-operative in accordance with the local national committee's resolution. The costs are paid from the municipal treasury so far; the local national committee shall spread them out to the participants on a pro rata basis according to the size of the areas affected or at risk by hops.
(1) The following agricultural research institutes are entrusted with the professional supervision of the observance of the provisions of Act No. 165 / 1924 Coll., as regards measures against hops vertical:

(3) The information and intelligence service on hops shall be carried out by the plant protection rapporteurs appointed by the Ministry of Agriculture in Slovakia through the responsibility of agriculture and land reform, after hearing the research institutes of agriculture and after hearing the relevant regional organisation of hops growers in each area (paragraph 2). The plant protection rapporteur's appointment decree is also an ID card for land inspections.
(1) The authorities of the research institutes of agriculture (§ 5 (1)), their control bodies (§ 5 (2)) and the rapporteurs for plant protection (§ 5 (3)) are entitled to carry out a survey of the land.
(2) The owner of the land or his representative shall always be invited to inspect the land. The inspection shall be limited to examination of circumstances the knowledge of which is necessary for its purposes.
(3) If the owner of the land or his representative does not participate in the inspection, although he has been informed of it in good time, his absence shall not prevent it from being carried out.
(4) If it is found at the time of the inspection that the owner of the land has failed to fulfil the obligations imposed on him in Section 1, he shall be obliged to reimburse the competent research institute for the agricultural expenditure associated with the inspection. It may complain against the determination of the cost of the inspection within 15 days of the date of delivery of the survey of the agricultural research institute to the relevant national committee in Slovakia in the agriculture and land reform agencies.
