(Cyril George) Nitrogen Bacteria and Legumes With special reference to red clover, cowpeas, soy beans, alfalfa, and sweet clover, on Illinois soils University of Illinois Agricultural Experiment Station Bulletin No. 94 Produced by Bryan Ness, Jana Srna and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This file was produced from images generously made available by The Internet Archive/American Libraries.) "Nitrogen Bacteria and Legumes" by Cyril G. Hopkins is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century, specifically in 1904. This book delves into the essential relationship between nitrogen-fixing bacteria and leguminous plants, particularly focusing on crops such as red clover, cowpeas, soybeans, alfalfa, and sweet clover and their interactions within Illinois soils. The author embarks on an exploration of how these bacteria contribute to agricultural productivity via nitrogen fixation, which is crucial for the growth of many crops. In this comprehensive bulletin, Hopkins discusses the roles of different species of nitrogen-gathering bacteria and their specific associations with various legumes. He highlights how these bacteria must be present in the soil for legumes to effectively utilize atmospheric nitrogen, stressing the importance of inoculation when planting legumes on new or previously unfarmed land. Through a series of observations and experiments, Hopkins illustrates the necessity of these bacteria for successful crop cultivation, providing practical advice for farmers on improving soil nitrogen levels and agricultural sustainability. The findings suggest that understanding and managing soil bacteria are vital for optimizing legume production and, consequently, maintaining soil fertility.
