AGRICULTURE IN TRANSISITON
Donald L. Schriefer
Soft cover, 238 pages, $24.00 |
Ideas such as “crop and soil weatherproofing,”
the “row support system,” and the “tillage commandments,”
exemplify the practicality of the soil/root maintenance
program that serves as the foundation for Schriefer’s
highly-successful “systems approach” farming. Schriefer
was a pioneer in developing an awareness of the relation
of tillage to soil fertility, focusing on three major
soil basics — soil aeration, soil water, and soil decay.
This book covers such topics as soil chemistry, plant
and soil dynamics, above- and below-ground plant management,
row support fertilization, zone-tillage, disc-chiseling,
and more. He focuses on reducing "yield-limiting
factors" such as seed selection, excessive tillage
and a dependence on technology..
