of that experiment.
GRAHAM, MICHAEL
Soil and Sense Faber 1941
An unpretentious but informative book about grasses,
pastures, livestock, and their relationships to one
another.
A "response" to fertilizers is not necessarily evidence
that the soil is deficient in nitrogen, phosphate, or
potash; there may in fact be ample reserves. What it does
suggest is that the soil is sub fertile and will yield a
full crop only when the natural processes of
plant-nutrition are short-circuited by a dose of soluble
chemical salts. Such dosing, there is some reason to think,
progressively reduces the biological efficiency of the
plant soil relationship, not so much by direct toxic action
as by creating a condition of imbalance in the soil
population and (possibly) in the physiology of the plant
population.
