Uses Git Avuses of Hertuizers By Prof R J H B Loach
The Rothamsted Experiment Station in England is noted for its work on soil fertility and farm management. Since 1837, Sir John Bennett Lawes and J H Gilbert led long term fertilizer experiments, showing higher yields with mineral manures and ammonia salts. Ammonia salts boosted corn yields most, while manure gained value when combined with ammonia. The article urges farmers to consider plant food effects and remains supportive of Rothamsted’s foundational fertilizer research.
