{"product_id":"books-albrecht-s-foundation-concepts-by-william-a-albrecht","title":"Albrecht's Foundation Concepts","description":"Albrecht's Foundation Concepts: Albrecht Papers Vol. 1\nThis valuable collection of essays reveals the insights of a brilliant soil scientist who was ahead of his time. In this volume, readers will find a carefully organized and convincing explanation of the relationship between plants and animals. Dr. William Albrecht sustains his theory and observation that a declining soil fertility, due to a lack of organic material, major elements, and trace minerals - or a marked imbalance in these nutrients - was responsible for poor crops and in turn for pathological conditions in animals fed deficient feeds from soils. These papers addressed to scientists, and especially to farmers who worked with nature are an invaluable foundation for anyone  interested in sustainable agriculture.\nCopyright, 1975, 2011, softcover, 515 pages. 20 in a case.\nTable of Contents - A Sample\nSoil Fertility and Plant Nutrition\nNitrogen-Fixation as Influenced by Calcium\nSoil Acidity is Beneficial, Not Harmful\nFertilizing Soils With Nitrogen\nThe Soil Nitrogen Supply is Still a Big Problem\nTrace Elements and the Production of Proteins\nPlants - Protected by Fertile Soil\nSoil Fertility - The Basis for Formulating an Agricultural Policy\nNeglect of Soil Fertility Reflected in Farm Animals\nHidden Hungers Point to Soil Fertility\nSoil Microbes Get Their Food First\nSoil Management by Nature or Man\nRead more!\nRead an excerpt from Chapter 18 here.\nExplore all of William A.

During his long and distinguished career, Dr. Albrecht made the case for an agronomy based on healthy soil ecosystems rather than simplistic chemical inputs, even as this latter approach was being introduced as the \"scientific\" agriculture of the future. Dr. Albrecht was a prolific author of articles, books, and scientific reports; upon his death in 1974, his research was willed to Acres U.S.A. founder and his personal friend, Charles Walters. Dr. Albrecht's work continues to be published and rings just as true today as it did when first discovered.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53508363550993,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781601730275.jpg?v=1778145226","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-albrecht-s-foundation-concepts-by-william-a-albrecht","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
