Results of Experiments at Rothamsted, the Growth of Leguminous Crops, for Many Years in Succession on the Same Land, Vol. 4: Being (With Additions) A ... College, Cirencester (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Unlock the mystery of nitrogen in crops with Rothamsted’s long-term experiments
Discover how different plants store and use nitrogen, and what this means for rotating crops and managing soil fertility for better yields.
This edition distills a century of field-scale observations on how legumes, cereals, and root crops perform when grown without external nitrogen inputs. It explains why leguminous crops can outproduce others in nitrogen content, and what this implies about soil health, nitrogen sources, and farming practices.- How different crops assimilate nitrogen when grown alone and in rotation, with and without mineral supplements
- Evidence on where legume nitrogen comes from—the atmosphere, surface soil, or deeper layers
- Comparisons between grassy, cruciferous, chenopodiaceous, and leguminous crops in long-term trials
- Practical implications for farm rotations, soil depth, and managing nitrogen stores over decades

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the extensive research conducted by the author on the growth of leguminous crops, such as beans and clover, examining the conditions and results of their cultivation. The author compares and contrasts the requirements of leguminous crops with those of other plant families like cereals and root vegetables. Throughout the book, the emphasis is placed on the amount of nitrogen assimilated by the various crops and the sources of this nitrogen, especially within the context of the ongoing debate over the fixation of free nitrogen. Drawing on evidence from field experiments and other sources, the author presents a detailed analysis of the factors influencing the growth and nitrogen content of leguminous crops, providing valuable insights for farmers and researchers alike. Ultimately, this book highlights the importance of understanding the nitrogen cycle and its implications for agricultural practices and our broader understanding of plant growth.
