Items related to Farming, Fertilizers and the Nitrate Problem
Synopsis
The excessive use of fertilizers in agriculture is generally assumed to be a major cause of nitrate pollution. Nitrates may leak through the soil and occur in excess levels in drinking water. The authors of this book provide a detailed scientific analysis of this controversial issue. They review the evidence which shows that many other features of contemporary farming practices have contributed to the problem and that limiting fertilizer use is an over-simplistic solution to the problem. Changing crop production practices to 'mop up' excess nitrate from soil microbes may be a better response. The book will have a wide audience among students, scientists and the lay person concerned with agriculture and land use, pollution and the environment.
