Due to the rapid increase in world population and improving living standards, the global agriculture sector is confronting with challenges for the sustainability of agricultural production and of the environment. Intensive high-yield agriculture is typically dependent on addition of fertilizers (synthetic chemicals, animal manure, etc.). However, non-point nutrient losses from agricultural fields due to fertilization could adversely impact the environment. Increased knowledge on plant nutrient chemistry is required for improving utilization efficiency and minimizing loses from both inorganic and organic nutrient sources. For this purpose, the book is composed of 19 chapters that highlight recent research activities in applied nutrient chemistry geared toward sustainable agriculture and environment. Topics of interest include, but are not limited, to speciation, quantification, and interactions of various plant nutrients and relevant contributories in manure, soil, and plants. This book outlooks emerging researchable issues on alternative utilization and environmental monitoring of manure and other agricultural by products that may stimulate new research ideas and direction in the relevant fields.
This early work on the fertilisers and manure concentrates on the chemistry behind them, examining their different types and how they are made. Written in simple, clear language and profusely illustrated, “The Chemistry of Fertilisers and Manure” will appeal to those with an interest in the history and development of modern agricultural techniques. Contents include: “Soil Science”, “Fertilisers And Manures”, “Nitrogenous Fertilisers”, “Phosphatic Fertilisers”, “Potassic Fertilisers”, “Agricultural Salt”, “Determination of Sodium Chloride”, “Lime, Hydrated Lime And Carbonate Of Lime”, “Mixed Or General Manures”, “Potassium Nitrate”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on soil science.
