Opis: How Crops Grow - Johnson Samuel W.

Excerpt from How Crops Grow: A Treatise on the Chemical Composition, Structure, and Life of the Plant, for All Students of Agriculture

The original edition of this work, first published in 1868, was the result of studies undertaken in preparing instruction in Agricultural Chemistry which the Author has now been giving for three and thirty years. Together with the companion volume, "How Crops Feed," it was intended to present concisely but fully the then present state of Science regarding the Nutrition of the higher Plants and the relations of the Atmosphere, Water, and the Soil, to Agricultural Vegetation. Since its first appearance, our knowledge of the subject treated of in the present volume has largely participated in the remarkable advances which have marked all branches of Science during the last twenty years and it has been the writers endeavor in this revised edition to post the book to date as fully as possible without greatly enlarging its bulk or changing its essential character. In attempting to reach this result he has been doubly embarassed, first, by the great and rapidly increasing amount of recent publications in which the materials for revision must be sought, and, second, by the fact that official duties have allowed very insufficient time for a careful and comprehensive study of the literature. In conclusion, it is hoped that while the limits of the book make necessary the omission of a multitude of interesting details, little has been overlooked that is of real importance to a fair presentation of the subjects discussed.
