What is a plant actually made of, and how does the soil supply it? Thomas Anderson breaks down agricultural chemistry: the organic constituents of plants, the water they release, and the science beneath every fertile field. A rigorous grounding for the scientific farmer. Understand the chemistry that turns dirt and sunlight into a crop.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
