The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 14

Prevention

Prevention.

It is essential for every reason that hop land should be drained. For the prevention of thousand legs this is most desirable since they love moisture.

All vegetable rubbish and decaying matter should be removed from hop plantations which would serve as a harbour for them.

Frequent and thorough cultivation by digging round the plant-centres, and the application of nitrate of soda, soot, lime, or lime ashes, to be dug deeply into the soil close round them will be found very beneficial.
