Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a rich historical and experimental exploration of the use of nitrate of soda as a nitrogen fertilizer. Delving into over a century of research, the author presents the results of experiments conducted in the late 1800s, which first showcased the phenomenon of sulfate of ammonia being toxic to plants grown in acidic soilsâ"a toxicity that could be counteracted by the application of lime. The book also discusses in detail the findings of a three-year experiment comparing the effectiveness of nitrate of soda, sulfate of ammonia, and dried blood as nitrogen sources for corn. The results consistently showed nitrate of soda to be superior, especially on acidic soils. Beyond corn, the author examines the application of nitrate of soda to a wide array of crops, including grasses, nursery stock, small fruits, and vegetables. In nearly every case, nitrate of soda outperforms sulfate of ammonia, showcasing the former's versatility as a nitrogen fertilizer. This book is a valuable resource for farmers, gardeners, and anyone interested in the history and science of plant nutrition. It provides a wealth of practical information on the use of nitrate of soda as a fertilizer and offers a unique perspective on the development of agricultural practices over the past century.
