New Powder Puts Life In Old Land
Philadelphia reports a new yellow synthetic powder from Monsanto that transforms soil properties without acting as a fertilizer. It boosts crop yields 20 to 100 percent, reduces erosion, improves road building, and aids irrigation. The powder forms a sponge like structure in soil, lasts longer than peat moss or compost, and requires far less material to achieve soil work. It promises use in farms, gardens, and greenhouses and is set for sale through 1953 with universities and agencies coordinating its rollout.
