- Intervention effect The 50N–25P–25K rate was optimum for fresh growth.
- Intervention effect Plants receiving 50N–25P–25K were taller and had higher fresh and dry yields than at 25N–12.5P–12.5K.
- Intervention effect At 50N–25P–25K, stem circumference, leaf number and fresh yield were comparable to 100N–50P–50K.
- Intervention effect Dry yield at 50N–25P–25K was comparable to that at 100N–50P–50K.
- Intervention effect Root development was best at 50N–25P–25K.
- Intervention effect The 50N–25P–25K rate supplied adequate nutrients for optimum regrowth.
- Intervention effect Soil acidity declined with increased NPK fertilizer.
- Intervention effect Soil nitrogen was optimal with 50N–25P–25K.
- Intervention effect Plant nitrogen content increased with 100N–50P–50K.
- Intervention effect Fertilizer increased soil phosphorus.
- Intervention effect Fertilizer did not increase plant phosphorus content.
- Observation Soil and plant potassium contents were reduced.
