So the remedy for a tired field was more manure. However, when Carl Sprengel, a German agronomist, analyzed what was actually in the plow layer, he found that the theory was wrong. Plants take up specific mineral elements, and a field could be rich in almost all of them and still fail because it lacked the one that had run out. He published the argument in 1826 and set out the consequence in 1828, in what became known as the Law of the Minimum: growth is governed by the scarcest input rather than the total available. Add nitrogen to soil short of potassium and growth remains stagnant. A decade later, chemist Justus von Liebig popularized the concept, which is why it is often called Liebig’s Law of the Minimum and is frequently illustrated as a barrel holding water only as high as its shortest plank. In 1905, British plant physiologist Frederick Blackman generalized the concept in his paper “Optima and Limiting Factors,”...
