Abstract

Excerpts from the Introduction: Small farmers and organic farmers have expressed a need for assistance in developing alternatives to today's highly intensive and mechanized farming practices. Generally, this involves reducing or excluding the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides and relying instead on untreated minerals, crop rotations, mulches, legumes, animal and municipal wastes, and green manures to supply nutrients and control weeds. The bibliography presented here consists of 1,176 publications of long-term research by scientists of the Science and Education Administration-Agricultural Research's Soil, Water, and Air Sciences staff (SWAS) from 1920 to 1978 that relate to the needs of both the small and organic farmers. Only those publications that were considered most useful to these groups of farmers were selected. They are listed under 19 subject areas according to the year published. A brief summary of the subject area appears at the beginning of each section.
