  • Title: [Scientific agriculture in the nineteenth century Murcian press as seen by local authors].
    Author: Lopez Fernandez C, Marset Campos P.
    Journal: Dynamis; 1997; 17():239-58. PubMed ID: 11623550.
    Abstract:
    This article studies the writings on agriculture published by local authors in the cultural and scientific press in the Region of Murcia during the second half of the nineteenth century. All magazines of the period were reviewed, and the most important information from ten of them, published between 1865 and 1898, was extracted. The articles in these magazines defended three main ideas: the use of chemical fertilizers, the recourse to other sciences (such as meteorology and electricity) within agriculture, and the need to renovate and improve traditional agricultural industries (silk and esparto). But the measures proposed by local scientists did not have the desired impact on the landowning class.
