Excerpt from A Study of Crop Yields and Soil Composition in Relation to Soil Productivity
By schemes of management, we mean the crops that are cultivated, the culture given them, and the Order in which they succeed each other. In Britain we have a variety of schemes of management; we have successions of different crops, and we have the same crops succeeding each other, in different orders. It was so likewise among the Romans; and their different schemes were adapted to their different soils.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into historical and modern agricultural concepts surrounding one of humanityâs oldest concerns â" maintaining the productivity of soil for food. Using evidence from crop yields in the United States and Europe, the author questions traditional beliefs of modern soil management and productivity. The author observes that, despite common assumptions that soils will become less fertile over time, crop yields in Europe and the United States have maintained or even increased over long periods of time. This is demonstrated by using official estimates of crop yields from the 1860s to the 1900s, revealing a general pattern of increasing productivity. The author argues that there is little evidence to support the common perception that soils are âwearing out.â This book offers a fresh perspective on soil management and challenges conventional wisdom about soil quality and productivity. It highlights the potential for sustainable and productive agriculture without the exhaustive use of artificial fertilizers and soil amendments.
