Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. 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. 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.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of lectures on investigations carried out at the Rothamsted Experimental Station, delivered by famed scientist Robert Warington before the Association of American Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Stations in Washington in the year 1891. As the first series of such lectures, the author had the privilege of reading all of them to the man who inspired their creation, Sir John Bennet Lawes, prior to delivery. Sir Lawes played a pivotal role in establishing the trust through which Rothamsted passed under its new management, and also generously provided some hitherto unpublished results for inclusion in the lectures. Given the importance of nitrogenous matter in determining soil fertility and crop yields, a primary focus of these lectures is to convey the author's significant research into this topic. Warington examines the nature of this matter, its origins, and the intricate interplay of factors that lead to either its increase or decrease in the soil. Historically, it was the development of artificial fertilizers by the author and Sir Lawes, beginning around 1840, that instigated the comprehensive study of soil chemistry and plant nutrition that continues at Rothamsted to this day. However, this book conveys findings that are still relevant to modern agriculture, examining in granular detail the exchange between the atmosphere, plants, and soil that makes nitrogen available to plants and that can significantly impact crop health and productivity.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book discusses the chemistry of the farm, including the cultivation of its plants and animals. The author thoroughly explains how plants consume carbon from the atmosphere, form their substances, and respire, transpire water, and absorb ash constituents. The author also details how plants are fed by the roots, discusses where their ash constituents end up, and outlines the conditions and processes of seed germination. The book positions plant and animal growth within the context of broader chemical reactions and processes and explores how temperature, light, and water levels affect plant growth. The author concludes by emphasizing the significance of the book's insights for managing the chemistry of the farm to maximize productivity. 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.
