Excerpt from Letters on Modern Agriculture
It is not long since the humus theory occupied every work on agriculture, and the fertility of our fields was described as entirely dependent on the presence of this supposed valuable substance. The real nature of humus is, however, now understood, as well as the conditions under which alone it can prove valuable in the nutrition of plants.
It is also now well known, that plants cannot grow and attain complete development., without the simultaneous action of atmospheric food and certain mineral elements, which are absolutely indispensable to their existence. The author has in these Letters shown, that no single element of these indispensable mineral matters possesses superiority over another, but that they are all of equal value to the life of a plant. Hence, if one of them be absent in the soil, a fully developed plant cannot be produced by the others, until the deficient element be supplied.
