Description
This book is about the effects of inorganic substances on the growth of plants. Some of these substances, like arsenic, are still in use today, and can have a negative effect on plants. This book is valuable to anyone with an interest in the history of botany and agriculture.
First published in 1927 as the second edition of a 1914 original, this book examines the effect of various inorganic substances on the growth of plants. Brenchley performs experiments to prove that certain compounds then in use in artificial fertilisers, including arsenic compounds, sometimes had a deleterious effect on the plants to which they were applied in various settings. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the history of botany and of agriculture.
