Sinopsis

Maximize crop health with a practical guide to soil fertility and fertilizers.

In Fertilizers, Edward B. Voorhees offers a clear, hands-on look at how soils gain and lose fertility, and how different fertilizers and manures can help crops grow better. The book covers the science behind plant food, the choice between natural and artificial sources, and the practical steps for applying nutrients across crops from cereals to fruit trees. This edition explains how to read fertilizer analyses, understand trade values, and choose materials that fit your land and your budget. It also guides readers through buying, mixing, and using fertilizers responsibly, with attention to safety and effectiveness.

  • See how nitrogen, phosphoric acid, and potash affect plant growth and when to apply them.
  • Learn about farmyard and green-manures, lime, and other soil amendments.
  • Understand the differences between raw materials and finished fertilizers and how to compare brands.
  • Get practical advice on planning rotations, crop needs, and cost-effective fertilization strategies.
