Página 187 - The production possible from a definite amount of plant -food can be secured only when the conditions are such as to permit its proper solution, distribution and retention by the soil. The fact that fertilizers may now be easily secured, and the ease of application, have encouraged a careless use, rather than a thoughtful expenditure, of an equivalent amount of money or energy in the proper preparation of the soil.
Página 221 - Furthermore, the mineral elements are relatively cheap, while the nitrogen is relatively expensive, and thus that the economical use of this expensive element, nitrogen, is dependent to a large degree upon the abundance of the mineral elements In the soil. It is therefore advocated that for all crops and for all soils that are in a good state of cultivation, a reasonable excess of phosphoric acid and potash...
Página 241 - One will seek to know what the different forms of plant-food are, what they do, from what sources they can be obtained, and how he can use them to best advantage. He will become to some extent an investigator, and will, of necessity, take a deeper interest in his work.

(e). When a soil produces good, early maturing crops of grain, with plump and heavy kernels, phosphoric acid will not generally be found deficient in the soil. Such general indications may often be most helpful, and crops should be studied carefully with these facts in mind.
