Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Maize hybrid yield was highest at 200-400 kg ha -1 NPK.
- Intervention effect Fertilization significantly affected maize yield in 21 of 26 years.
- Association Year and rainfall had the greatest effect on maize yield.
- Association Year affected maize yield levels but did not alter the fertilizer response pattern.
- Method / resource Quadratic fits were not significant in 12 of 26 years.
- Method / resource The quadratic function overestimated the fertilizer optimum.
- Method / resource The square root function described the broad fertilizer-response maximum better than the quadratic.
- Recommendation The authors recommend using a square root function for responses with a depressive phase.
- Recommendation The authors recommend linear-plateau or inverse exponential functions for plateau-shaped responses.
- Method / resource Regression deviations were as important as R 2 for selecting the best response function.
