Excerpt from The Rothamsted Memoirs on Agricultural Chemistry and Physiology, Vol. 3: Containing Reports of Field Experiments, Experiment on Vegetation, &C., &C., Published 1863 1874 Inclusive In each case, the land was, in an agricultural sense, exhausted before the commencement of the experiment; that is to say, it would, in ordinary practice, have required manure before growing another crop. It is seen that, without manure, the two Graminaceous crops (wheat and barley) gave an average of about 24lbs. Nitrogen per acre per annum; the Leguminous crop (beans) nearly twice as much, or 47'81bs., and the mixed herbage of the meadow-hay, comprising both Graminaceous and Leguminous plants, 397lbs. Lastly, the turnips, with mineral, but without nitrogenous manure, gave 42lbs. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Rothamsted Memoirs on Agricultural Chemistry and Physiology, Vol. 1: Containing Reports of Field Experiments, Experiments on Vegetation, &C., &C.; Published 1847-1863 Inclusive I certainly place great reliance on the experimental results which I possess; every operation has been conducted under the eye of Dr. Gilbert, a gentleman who received his scientific edu cation in the best British and continental laboratories, and has applied that accuracy which modern science demands, both to the operations Of the laboratory and the field. In the first place I shall Offer some general remarks upon the growth and nature Of the common agricultural plants, and after wards endeavour to show the effect of manures upon them.

Excerpt from The Rothamsted Memoirs on Agricultural Chemistry and Physiology, Vol. 7: Supplementary; Containing Reports of Field Experiments, Experiments on Vegetation, on the Feeding of Animals, &C., &C A large portion of the lecture on the conditions and results of growth of Leguminous Crops, which I gave' at the Colle e last year, was devoted to the illustration of the fact, that both t e scientific interest, and the practical value, of those crops, depended very much on the amount of nitrogen which they contain, and on the sources of their nitrogen; and especially on the great differences in these respects, between them and the representatives of the other families with which they are grown, either in alternation in our rotations, or in association in our meadows and pastures. I then discussed the bearing of existiu evidence on the question of the fixation of free nitrogen, and concludes by reference to some considerations and illustrations relating to the question of the sources of the nitrogen of crops generally.
