HC Deb 17 June 1937 vol 325 c584W
Mr. Leonard

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether his attention has been called to the experiments of Dr. Gehricke, of the University of California, with chemiculture (soil-less) farming, and the results of the commercial application of his theories; and if his Department are pursuing similar investigations in this country?

Mr. W. S. Morrison

Yes, Sir. So far as I am aware, however, there is no published information concerning these experiments. I understand that the Rothamsted Experimental Station is in touch with Dr. Gehricke, and that if and when further information concerning the process is available, the station will consider whether investigation is desirable.
