Synopsis
Excerpt from Lecture on Modern Applications of Chemistry to Crop Production
IN general, chemists have adopted two methods in applying chemistry to cr0p production; they have endeavoured to explain the processes found successful by farmers, and they are developing a science which the expert can use in improving old methods of cr0p production or devising new ones.
Much of the modern work arose out of the attempt, very successfully made by Lawes Gilbert, 80 years ago, to explain the fertilising value of farmyard manure. They showed that it was largely due to nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus present; and on the basis of this result was developed the present day artificial fertiliser industry. Recent work however shows that this is not a complete explanation of the value of farmyard manure.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of agricultural chemistry, exploring the intricate relationship between soil, plants, and fertilizers. The author sheds light on the history of chemical applications in crop production, from the groundbreaking discoveries of Lawes and Gilbert to the modern-day use of artificial fertilizers. Beyond the traditional focus on nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, this book delves into the lesser-known yet equally important effects of farmyard manure on soil health and plant growth. The author explores the potential role of accessory substances, the impact of cellulose decomposition on nitrogen fixation, and the intricate interplay between soil microorganisms and farmyard manure. This book's significance lies in its comprehensive examination of the complex factors that influence plant nutrition. By providing a deeper understanding of soil fertility and microorganisms, it empowers readers with the knowledge to make informed decisions about agricultural practices, ultimately contributing to more sustainable and productive farming systems. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781334557361_0
