A set of four experiments with increasing levels of the three main plant nutrients and liming were established in two lateritic soils at two locations in the coffee-growing area of Puerto Rico. Two coffee cultivars were used in the experiments. The results obtained can be summarized as follows: 1. Nitrogen levels significantly affected coffee yields of the Puerto Rico cultivar in a Catalina clay at Maricao grown under shade. 2. Phosphorus and potassium did not significantly affect the yields of these coffee cultivars at the two locations. 3. Liming did not significantly affect the yields.

The response surface methodology (RSM) is a collection of mathematical and statistical techniques useful for the modeling and analysis of problems in which a response of interest is influenced by several variables, and the objective is to optimize the response. The objective of the study was to model the rose coco beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) through an existing A-optimum and D-efficient second order rotatable design of twenty four points in three dimensions in a greenhouse setting using three inorganic fertilizers, namely, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Thus, the objective of the study was accomplished using the calculus optimum value of the free/letter parameter f=1.1072569. This was done by estimating the parameters via least square's techniques, by making available for the yield response of rose coco beans at calculus optimum value design for the first time. The results showed that, the three factors: nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium contributed significantly on the yield of rose coco beans (p<0.05). In GP3G, the second-order model was adequate for 1% level of significance with p value of 0.0034. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) of response surface for rose coco yield showed that this design was adequate due to satisfactory level of a coefficient of determination, R2, 0.8066 and coefficient variation, CV was 10.30. This study demonstrated the importance of statistical methods in the optimal and efficient production of rose coco beans. We do recommend a randomize screening of all the fertilizer components with which it has influence on rose coco beans be done to ascertain the right initial amount of each fertilizer that could achieve maximum yield than this study realized.

A long-term factorial trial with nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizers was started at Nuriootpa Viticultural Station, South Australia on the grape cultivar Shiraz in 1944. Results show a significant yield response to superphosphate. Long-term applications of ammonium sulphate resulted in severe reduction of vine growth and yield, and a significant lowering of soil pH. No direct response to potassium sulphate was obtained except in one year, but a positive interaction between potassium and phosphorus occurred in some years. An analysis of the components of yield in 1964 showed that the increase in yield with superphosphate was due to an increase in the number of berries per bunch. The nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium contents of petioles were determined and related to available reference standards.

Field trials were conducted in Nigua, San Cristobal, Dominican Republic, to determine the yield response of `Spineless Beauty' zucchini (Cucurbita sp.) to nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) soil applications in a loamy clay soil containing 4.3% organic matter, 3 parts per million (ppm) of P, and 155 ppm of K. Zucchini was direct-seeded at a distance of 1 m between rows and 0.5 m within rows. Except for N, P, and K fertilization, the crop was grown according to recommended practices. A factorial design (4 × 4 × 4) with four replications was utilized. Rates of N, P, and K were 50, 100, 150, and 200 kg·ha–1, applied as a side dressing 7 days after zucchini emergence. Zucchini fruit harvest started 40 days after crop emergence and every other day thereafter during 20 days. Analysis of variance was performed on the resulting data. Results indicate that there were significant interactions of N, P, and K fertilizer rates on `Spineless Beauty' fruit yield; therefore, nutrient combinations were considered as individual treatments. Significantly superior (lsd 5%) fruit yield was obtained with 150, 150, and 50 kg·ha–1 N, P, and K, respectively.

Fertilizer trials with processing peas were conducted at 15 locations during a 4-year period. Although the soils varied in their chemical properties, there was no general or consistent yield response with increasing rates of N, P or K. There was, however, a consistent increase in leaf N with the higher rates of N and in leaf K with all rates of K. Increasing rates of K were accompanied by decreasing leaf levels of Ca and Mg. The results indicate that N, P and K applied at approximately 25, 50 and 25 kg/ha respectively should be generally adequate.

Limestone, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, alone and in various combinations, were applied to the surface of permanent hayland during a 27-year period. Both limestone and phosphorus produced marked changes in the chemical properties of the soil. Phosphorus content of the soil where surface applications of this fertilizer were made decreased markedly with depth of sampling. Yield response to phosphorus was greater than to nitrogen or potassium although changes in botanical composition of the sward indicated the value of nitrogen, for grass and of limestone for legumes. Irrespective of the treatment, yields declined with time.
