Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the use of sulfate of iron in agriculture, primarily focusing on its effectiveness in eradicating weeds like charlock and runch, which infest grain crops. The author conducted 144 trials in Yorkshire, England, and concluded that a 10% solution of sulfate of iron, applied at a rate of 40 gallons per acre, could effectively destroy these weeds, particularly when applied at the youngest stage of their growth and during favorable weather conditions. The author also discusses the potential benefits of sulfate of iron as a fertilizer, noting its ability to improve crop yields and enhance the green color of foliage. Additionally, the book examines the use of sulfate of iron in combatting diseases such as anthracnose in grapes and beans, and chlorosis in vines. The author provides detailed insights into the factors that influence the effectiveness of sulfate of iron treatments, including weather conditions, plant age, and solution strength, offering practical guidance for farmers seeking to implement this method in their own fields.
