Find the right balance of organic matter, tillage, and chemical
additives to increase the quality and quantity of crops!
This book shows the importance of organic matter in maintaining
crop production. The addition of organic matter to soil is covered
in great detail. This book is unique in that it draws on practical
farming operations to illustrate many of the points discussed. The
senior author has had almost 60 years of experience in solving
production problems--many of which have been related to
insufficient organic matter.
In addition, Sustainable Soils: The Place of Organic Matter in
Sustaining Soils and Their Productivity stresses the necessity of
combining the addition of organic matter with reduced tillage and
added chemicals. Photographs, tables, and figures, as well as
appendixes containing common and botanical names of plants, symbols
and abbreviations found in the text, and useful conversion factors
and data help bring the information into focus quickly and
efficiently. An extensive bibliography points the way to other
useful material on this subject.
Sustainable Soils discusses: what materials can be added
techniques for proper handling of organic matter how much is enough
(and how much is too much!) the nutritive value of various forms of
organic matter the benefits that can be expected from properly
handling and adding organic matter to soil From the Editors:
"Sustainable agriculture is not possible without a sustainable soil
science, which in turn is largely dependent on organic matter. It
is necessary to return large amounts of organic matter to the soil
in order to maintain satisfactory crop production. It can be
derived from crop residues, cover crops, sods, or various wastes,
such as manures, sludges, and composts. This book details the
benefits of various forms, and how each should be handled for
maximum returns."
