On the Science of Agriculture (Classic Reprint): Comprising a Commentary on and Comparative Investigation of the Agricultural Chemistry of Mr. Kirwan and Sir Humphry Davy - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Explore the science behind growing crops, tending livestock, and shaping soils with a critical, historical perspective. This book offers a commentary and comparative study of agricultural chemistry as it relates to the works of Kirwan and Davy, drawing connections between theory, practice, and the plant and soil world they aim to influence. Rich in historical context, it investigates how chemistry informs farming decisions, from lime use to cider making, and from fieldwork to orchard management.
The text frames the scope of agriculture as a science that connects plants and animals, soil, climate, and technology. It surveys major ideas about how nutrients move, how lime and manures affect the land, and how fermentation and atmosphere shape crop and fruit quality. Through critical examination, the author tests widely held beliefs and offers practical, theory-informed insights for better stewardship of the land.
- Understand how soil chemistry and lime use influence orchard health and crop outcomes.
- Learn how fermentation and apple quality connect to cider and fruit production.
- See how historical figures shaped early agricultural science and its practical limits.
- Explore the relationship between theory and practice in managing crops, animals, and the land.
Ideal for readers who want a window into the scientific foundations of agriculture, as well as those interested in the history of agricultural ideas and their practical consequences.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, the product of extensive research and observation, is a comprehensive treatise on agriculture and animal husbandry. In exploring the interconnectedness of plants and animals, the author establishes a solid scientific framework. Drawing on examples from his own experiments, he provides ample evidence to support his theories on breeding, feeding, cultivation, and more. The book offers a fresh perspective, challenging the common belief that haphazard crossbreeding improves livestock. Instead, the author advocates for planned breeding and careful selection to preserve desirable traits and ensure the overall health and vigor of a flock or herd. Additionally, the author analyzes the effects of climate, lodging, and food on plants and animals, concluding that by understanding the interplay of these elements, farmers can optimize their efforts and maximize yields. This book is recommended to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the science of agriculture and its practical application. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
