The Cultivation of Sisal

Abstract

The sisal plant has considerable in' he rent vigor which makes it adaptable to widely differing conditions of soil and climate. It demands the minimum of at, tention in the field. Consequently, wher, e.ver suitable land is plentiful, the course most commonly followed by planters for increased production is the straight for, ward one of enlarging the area under cultivation. These factors have directed Sisal cultivation along extensive lines. They are also reasons why the question of manuring per se has seemed a remote one, and present knowledge on this sub, ject happens to be rather vague.
