Would it be better to say?
In addition, one should prevented UV radiation from spreading to neighbouring stands.
I am in favour of the latter version.
What do you think?
Thank you.

Re: which version is acceptable to you

The second requires a bare infinitive after should. With that correction, it's better than the original.
