Abstract
MUCH interest has been aroused in this subject by virtue of the publicity afforded it by the popular Press and by a number of publications, many of which contain statements and claims which are unwarranted. It is refreshing, therefore, to find that the aim of the author of this book is “to present the actual status of the subject; to disabuse the average person, the enthusiastic gardener or the commercial grower of false notions; and to discuss the real possibilities that the field of chemical plant culture promises”.
