9781333357191: Some of the Principles Which Should Determine Compensation for the Use of Foods and Manures

Synopsis

This book explores the principles of compensation for the use of fertilizers and provides guidance to valuers determining compensation for the use of purchased foods and manures on a farm. The author, a renowned expert in the field, presents a comprehensive examination of the various factors that influence the effectiveness of manures, drawing on practical field experiments conducted at Rothamsted and Woburn. The author emphasizes the importance of considering the physical condition of the soil, as well as the type of crop and use of the manure, in determining its value. Through detailed examples, the book highlights the substantial effects that residues of previous applications of manure can have on subsequent crops, particularly on poor soils where small residues can produce significant results. The author also discusses the complex issue of compensation for the use of nitrogenous manures, taking into account the different methods of manure application and the potential losses of nitrogen that may occur. By presenting a balanced view of the scientific evidence, this book offers valuable insights for valuers and farmers alike, helping them to arrive at fair and equitable compensation arrangements.
