Summary "Manures and the Principles of Manuring" by Charles Morton Aikman is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the crucial topic of manuring in agriculture, examining the various types of manures, their compositions, and their roles in soil fertility and plant nutrition. Aimed at both students and practitioners of agricultural science, the book synthesizes insights from historical agricultural chemistry and contemporary research to provide a comprehensive examination of effective manuring practices. The opening of the text establishes the foundational principles of agricultural chemistry, emphasizing its evolution and relevance to modern farming. It begins with a historical overview, detailing early theories on plant growth and the contributions of notable figures like Van Helmont and Liebig. Aikman discusses the pivotal shift in agricultural practices brought about by the introduction of artificial manuring, underscoring its importance in enhancing soil fertility and crop yield. He articulates the book's purpose: to compile recent research findings on manuring for practical application in agriculture, positioned between detailed technical discussions and accessible information for the average reader interested in improving agricultural outcomes.
