Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Natural Laws of Husbandry In the following work Baron Liebig has given to the public his mature views on agriculture, after sixteen years of experiments and reflection. The fundamental basis of the work is still the so-called Mineral Theory, which holds that the food of plants is of inorganic nature, and that every one of the elements of food must be present in a soil for the proper growth of a plant. The discovery of the remarkable power of absorption possessed by arable soils has necessarily led to a modification of the views regarding the mode in which plants take up their food from the soil. As the food of plants cannot exist for any length of time in solution in soils, it is clear that there cannot be a circulation of such solution towards the roots, but the latter must go in search of food. Hence the great importance of studying the ramification of the roots of plants, and the mode of growth of the different classes of plants cultivated by man. The first chapter is devoted to the consideration of the growth of plants, of the formation of their roots, and of their power of selecting food, and the part played by the mineral matters which are absorbed.
