Andrew Colin McClung
Dr. Andrew Colin McClung is an American scientist who received the 2006 World Food Prize for his role in helping transform the Cerrado - a region of vast, once infertile tropical high plains stretching across Brazil - into highly productive cropland.
Research[edit | edit source]
McClung's research on the soil degradation plaguing central Brazil showed that acidity, toxic levels of aluminum, and deficiencies of several micronutrients in the soil limited plant growth.
Solution[edit | edit source]
Moreover, McClung developed a treatment which employed dolomitic lime to eliminate the aluminum toxicity of the soils, supply calcium and magnesium, and modify the availability of other nutrients.
