10. CONCLUSION
Dear
reader,
You
have just finished the last page of this book. Probably, some chapters you may
have found basic, but this book is
intended for a wide group of readers. I am confident that every person involved
with growing, whether growing flowers on the balcony, or working in
the garden or owning a
big plantation will find something useful within this publication.
We
have been through a
checkered history in my Country regarding many fields of
scientific achievement, so please have some thought on the fortunes of serious
discoveries relevant to
this field. In the middle of
the
20th century,
which will soon become part of history,
the young Ukrainian scientist Lydia Khristeva made a serious discovery,
watching a simple trial, included
in practice of all students studying soils, which has the potential
to tremendously change life and go a long way to solving the food shortage
problem on earth.
Please note that much of this happened in my country as it
passed through the devastation, fire, hunger and ruins of World War II.
Nevertheless, as a problem of the times in this country, she received little
acknowledgement and support for her ideas, which would have had significant
results at a time when they were needed.
That happens at times when politicians
do not hear the voice of scientists, and when eminent academics do not pay due
attention to new ideas and findings, which appear outside of their own areas of
interest.
Imagine if we had just a small percentage of the funds used in the
last half of this century for useless melioration, or of the funds used in the
building of giant industrial fertilizer production works…if those funds could
have been applied and aimed in a timely fashion to the ideas of Lydia Khristeva,
Tatiana Kukharenko , Valentina Larina and Dmitry Orlov,
just
to name but a few.
The
agriculture of Russia and other countries could have become more productive and
would not have had the same problems of fertility.
It would have been of immense
help to me as author of this book as I would have had easier access to knowledge
instead of collecting small pieces of information
on Humates in scarcely known publications, obscure sources and even in
newspaper articles.
The
knowledge on Humates touched on in this publication
is only “the tip of the iceberg”. We need to seriously study not only
humates, but their combinations with other macro and micro fertilizers of
organic and non organic origin used for every type of plant and soil.
I am
confident that various types of specific preparations for plants, animals and
humans will be created on the base of humic acids. We are at the beginning of
the need to start creating food abundance and humic acids are the main way to
serve this agricultural need of the
21st
century.
