OverviewExcerpt from Soils and Fertilizers It is evident from the preceding example that any thing like an adequate idea of the growth and compo sitiou of plant bodies could not be gained until the composition of air and water was established. The discovery of oxygen by Priestley in 1774, of the composition of water by Cavendish in 1781, and of the r61e which carbon dioxide plays in plant and animal life by De Saussure and others in 1800, formed the nucleus of our present knowledge regarding the sources of matter stored up in plants. It was between 1760 and 1800 that alchemy lost its grip because of advances in knowledge and the way was opened for the development of modern chemistry.
