Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book concerns artificial manures, an increasingly important factor in agriculture, believed by some to be farming's only chance of survival. It offers plain and reliable guides to their analysis for practical men, assisting understanding and enabling optimal use. The author anticipated the present revival of interest in these fertilisers and the rising appreciation of their benefits, which modern agriculture increasingly relies upon. British farmers especially demonstrate keen insight into fertilisers' value and employ them to better advantage than their continental counterparts. The author felt the need for a short, informative, and up-to-date account of the subject, having often been asked for guidance by both manufacturers and farmers. This text provides basic information on the topic, the raw materials used in their production, with discussion of their properties, including shortcomings, and a section dealing with nitrogenous substances. There are also useful recipes for use in making fertilisers, either on a large or small scale, with tips to maximise efficiency.
