Arthur Wallace (1919 to 2008) was a soil scientist who was professor of plant physiology at the University of California, Los Angeles, from 1949 to 1989. He took a chemistry degree at Utah State University in 1943 and a doctorate in soils and plant nutrition at Rutgers University in 1949. Known as Dr. Iron for his work on chelated iron, he formulated the structure of EDDHA in 1953, which was commercialized as Fe-EDDHA and sold as Sequestrene 138, after Fe-EDTA had failed in California. He proposed a Law of the Maximum in place of Liebig's law of the minimum, set out rules for the use of fertilizers, and resolved the technical problems of the linear polyacrylamide soil conditioner that had failed commercially as Krilium, so that it is now used against erosion and crusting.
