- Intervention effect Low N reduced individual leaf size.
- Intervention effect Low N reduced branch growth.
- Association P and K availability affected growth of later formed leaves.
- Intervention effect Combined P and K deficiency substantially reduced branch growth.
- Intervention effect Deficiency of each nutrient significantly reduced green leaf area at later stages.
- Intervention effect P deficiency increased tuber partitioning in one experiment.
- Intervention effect Combined P and K deficiency gave partitioning approximating nonlimiting conditions.
- Intervention effect K deficiency increased leaf weight ratio.
- Intervention effect Added P deficiency removed the higher LWR under K deficiency.
- Association LWR was higher when dry matter K:P ratio was below about five.
- Association LWR was not consistently related to shoot N percentage.
- Intervention effect N supply had little effect on dry matter partitioning.
- Association Treatments strongly affected tuber dry matter percentage with N × K interaction.
- Intervention effect Deficiency of one nutrient increased concentrations of others.
- Intervention effect Deficiency of any one nutrient reduced crop content of all three nutrients.
