Inhaltsangabe

The author reviews the properties and applications of fertilizers. He provides numerous suggestions for the fertilizing of crops. Special emphasis is placed on the quality of the products. For intensified land use and high-yield production it is no longer sufficient to rely on experience and home-made recipes with which only moderate yields can be attained. Rather, it is necessary to fertilize systematically and comprehensively in order to achieve quantity as well as quality specifications. Knowledge of old and new fertilizers and of the basic aspects of agricultural chemistry proves indispensible. Fertilization in modern farming is by no means an exhausted field. Chemical research and agricultural development continually improve production in many respects. It is encouraging to note that economic and ecological requirements tend to run parallel. The goal of increasing yields and nutrition can be achieved while retaining or even improving soil fertility without harmful environmental effects.
