This work serves as a comprehensive guide on the use of Peruvian guano, a highly concentrated and effective fertilizer, providing farmers with practical advice on its application to various crops and soils in America. It covers the benefits of guano compared to traditional manures, along with historical information, methods of procurement, and chemical analysis, aiming to enhance agricultural productivity. The opening of the treatise discusses the increasing availability and effectiveness of guano as a fertilizer for American farmers. Robinson addresses the lack of knowledge among farmers regarding the best practices for applying guano and emphasizes the substantial benefits it can yield for crops, especially in improving poor soils. He shares evidence from various experiments undertaken by farmers, showing dramatic increases in crop productivity due to guano’s application, and highlights its advantages over conventional manure in both efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Through this introduction, Robinson aims to encourage farmers to adopt guano as a key element in their agricultural practices.
