Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the use of fertilizers on citrus trees in Southern California. The author delves into the scientific aspects of citrus fertilization, presenting findings from meticulously conducted field experiments conducted in the early 20th century. This research was groundbreaking at the time, as it offered a critical look at the effectiveness of various fertilizer treatments and their impact on tree health, yield, and the emergence of mottle leaf disease. The book analyzes the role of nitrogen, phosphoric acid, and potassium, as well as the impact of different fertilizer sources like nitrate of soda, dried blood, and stable manure. The author also investigates the effectiveness of different cultural practices, such as clean cultivation, the use of winter cover crops, and mulching. The book ultimately reveals that while nitrogen is the essential element for citrus growth, the use of bulky organic manures, such as stable manure, is crucial for promoting long-term tree health and preventing the development of mottle leaf disease. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the early development of scientific agricultural practices in the citrus industry of Southern California.
