Excerpt from Notes on Five Years Experiments on Hop Manuring: Conducted at Golden Green, Hadlow, Tonbridge For years past the supply of nitrogen, being excessive in relation to the supply of phosphates, was limited in its utility and though, when it was in the form of such slowly-acting manures as those above enumerated, the excess might often do little harm, yet, if the excessive quantity of nitrogen, unaccompanied by phosphates, were supplied in the more active form of sulphate of ammonia, or in the still more active form of nitrate of soda, the plant would naturally be encouraged by the abundance of soluble nitrogenous food to make a rapid growth that was incapable of being carried to a proper conclusion, on account of the lack of mineral food. Such spasmodic and irrational manuring might naturally be expected to produce a forced overgrowth of bine and inferior hops.
