Book Description
This vintage book contains extensive information on fertilisers, exploring their various ingredients, how they are used, what they do, and much more. A veritable encyclopaedia on the subject, “Handbook of Fertilizers” contains much information that will be of use to the modern farmer or gardener, and it would make for a fine addition to collections of related literature. Contents include: “Requirements For Plant Growth”, “Nitrogeneous Fertilizer Materials”, “Phosphatic Fertilizer Materials”, “Potash Fertilizer Materials”, “Effects Of Fertilizers On”, “Crops And Soils”, “Factory-Mixed Fertilizers”, “Home-Mixing Of Fertilizers”, “Purchase And Use Of Fertilizers”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on soil science.

Book Description
Notwithstanding The Availability Of A Number Of Modern Books, This Classic Work Still Remains An Important Reference Source For The Farmers As Well As Students And Teachers Of Agriculture. Going Away From The Traditional Style Of Explaining The Origin And Composition Of Fertilizers And Manures, The Author Describes Lucidly Their Mode Of Action And Their Relation To Particular Crops And Soils. Enriched With Tables Of Scientific Data, The Text Covers The Need, Sources, Functions, Uses And Also A Comparative Analysis Various Fertilizers And Manures Nitrogenous, Phosphatic And Potassic. Also Discussed Is The Use Of Waste Organic Compounds As Manures, The Requirement Of Trace Elements For Plant Nutrition, Use Of Farmyard Manure And The Role Of Materials Having Lesser Direct Fertilizing Value. On The Whole, It Is A Unique Book On The Applied Aspect Of Fertilizers And Manures, Telling How To Adjust Them To Particular Soil And Particular Style Of Farming.
