Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Effect of Heat on Hawaiian Soils While the Old system of burning the soil has gradually fallen out Of use, the closely related partial sterilization by means Of heat and vola tile antiseptics is of great interest at the present time. In greenhouse work steam sterilization finds extensive application and has been the subject of interesting investigations during the past few years. Likewise the action of dry heat in its relation to partial sterilization and in comparison with the effects Of volatile antiseptics on subse quent biological activities has received considerable study. The Old idea of considering the subject in a restricted physical and limited chemical sense is, therefore, giving way to a broader view of the question. The more specific chemical effects involved, including cer tain physico-chemical effects dealt with more In detail in this paper, and the biological results are now being studied.
