Interactions between the beneficial effects of nitrogen, phosphate and potassium on plant growth

Abstract
SUMMARY Sets of data were selected from 66 nutritional experiments on crop plants with large beneficial effects of at least two of the nutrients, nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus, and the data, the logarithms of the data, and the reciprocals were statistically analysed. It was shown that the beneficial effects of the nutrients were additive much more often on the reciprocal scale, than when a logarithmic transformation, or none at all, was used.
