Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the extensive research conducted by the author on the growth of leguminous crops, such as beans and clover, examining the conditions and results of their cultivation. The author compares and contrasts the requirements of leguminous crops with those of other plant families like cereals and root vegetables. Throughout the book, the emphasis is placed on the amount of nitrogen assimilated by the various crops and the sources of this nitrogen, especially within the context of the ongoing debate over the fixation of free nitrogen. Drawing on evidence from field experiments and other sources, the author presents a detailed analysis of the factors influencing the growth and nitrogen content of leguminous crops, providing valuable insights for farmers and researchers alike. Ultimately, this book highlights the importance of understanding the nitrogen cycle and its implications for agricultural practices and our broader understanding of plant growth.
