Justus
Freiherr von Liebig[2]
(12 May 1803 – 18 April 1873) was a German chemist who made major
contributions to agricultural and biological chemistry, and was considered the
founder of organic chemistry.[3]
As a professor at the University of Giessen, he devised the modern
laboratory-oriented teaching method, and for such innovations, he is regarded
as one of the greatest chemistry teachers of all time.[4]
He has been described as the "father of the fertilizer industry" for his
emphasis on nitrogen and trace minerals as essential plant nutrients, and his
formulation of the Law of the Minimum which described how plant growth relied
on the scarcest nutrient resource, rather than the total amount of resources
available.[5]
He also developed a manufacturing process for beef extracts,[6]
and founded a company, Liebig Extract of Meat Company, that later trademarked
the Oxo brand beef bouillon cube. He popularized an earlier invention for
condensing vapors, which came to be known as the Liebig Condenser.[7]
