Abstract

                                The growth of cotton, as in the case of every other crop depends on the maintenance of the correct balance in the three agents, constituting the system, soil-soil solution -plant. It is the business of the Agricultural Chemist to study the several factors that contribute to the harmonious work- ing of this system, ascertain how the one influences the other and to devise ways and means of correcting any abnormality and finally reduce his findings to a simple formula so that the cultivator can profitably work it with the means at his disposal.
