Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book examines the soils of the Canadian prairies, presenting the results of chemical analyses conducted by the author over twenty years. The author begins by describing the physical geography and climatic conditions of the prairies, highlighting their vastness and the significance of their three great plains. The author then discusses the importance of the large proportion of vegetable matter and nitrogen that characterize these soils, and explains how these factors contribute to their fertility and lasting quality. The author also explores the relationship between organic matter content and crop production, and examines the effects of continuous grain growing and irrigation on the plant food content of the soil. The book concludes with a discussion of the importance of maintaining the humus content of the soils in order to preserve their fertility. The author's insights provide valuable guidance for farmers and policymakers seeking to sustainably manage these vital agricultural lands. 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.…
