The first book bearing the title of this volume, Inorganic Plant
Nutrition, was written by D. R. HOAGLAND of the University of
California at Berkeley. As indicated by its extended title,
Lectures on the Inorganic Nutrition of Plants, it is a collection
of lectures - the JOHN M. PRATHER lectures, which he was invited in
1942 to give. at Harvard University and presented there between
April 10 and 23 of that year - 41 years before the publication of
the present volume. They were not "originally intended for
publication" but fortunately HOAGLAND was persuaded to publish
them; the book appeared in 1944. It might at first blush seem
inappropriate to draw comparisons between a book embodying a set of
lectures by a single author and an encyclopedic volume with no less
than 37 contributors. But HOAGLAND'S book was a compre hensive
account of the state of this science in his time, as the present
volume is for ours. It was then still possible for one person, at
least for a person of HOAGLAND'S intellectual breadth and
catholicity of interests, to encompass many major areas of the
entire field, from the soil substrate to the metabolic roles of
nitrogen, potassium, and other nutrients, and from basic scientific
topics to the application of plant nutritional research in solving
problems encountered in the field."
