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.

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.

       Peanuts is a herbs plants, its flowers like a butterfly and its pods at the underground. Production decrease of peanuts at the Hulu Sungai Utara Regency because chemical fertilizers are used excessively. It causes the soil isn’t loose, hard, and sour. Liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) of coconut husk and banana trunk have many nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. This study aims to (i) determine the growth and yield response of peanut to the application liquid organic fertilizer of coconut husk and banana trunk on lebak wetlands, (ii) determine the best dosage liquid organic fertilizer of coconut husk and banana trunk growth and yield of peanut in lebak wetlands. It used a randomized block design (RBD). The results showed that application liquid organic fertilizer of coconut husk and banana trunk had significant effect on plant height and number of leaves age 28 day after planting (DAP) and no effect on plant height and number of leaves age 14 and 21 DAP, age of the plant when the first flowering, number of pods and plant fresh weight of pods. p3 (250 ml) was the best dosage to growth and yield of peanut.

AbstractThe experimental plots used in the study were located in the middle forest zone (elevation: 900-950 m a.s.l.) on two nappes of the flysch Carpathians in southern Poland. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of serpentinite in combination with nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizers on selected chemical properties of the soil and activity of dehydrogenase and urease in the studied soils. All fertilizer treatments significantly enriched the tested soils in magnesium. The use of serpentinite as a fertilizer reduced the molar ratio of exchangeable calcium to magnesium, which facilitated the uptake of magnesium by tree roots due to competition between calcium and magnesium. After one year of fertilization on the Wisła experimental plot, the pH of the Ofh horizon increased, while the pH of the mineral horizons significantly decreased. Enrichment of serpentinite with nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizers stimulated the dehydrogenase activity in the studied organic horizon. The lack of a negative effect of the serpentinite fertilizer on enzyme activity in the spruce stand soil showed that the concentrations of the heavy metals added to the soil were not high enough to be toxic and indicated the feasibility of using this fertilizer in forestry.

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.

Ensuring long-term access to nutrients needed for food production is a growing global challenge. Human urine diversion and recycling is a viable and energy-efficient means of recovering nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium from wastewater. Before implementation, however, it is critical to understand how communicating differently about human urine-derived fertilizer may influence its public acceptance. This study tests how different strategies of communication (video compared to texts), as well as different amounts of information, impact public acceptance. We also explored how specific characteristics, such as age and education level, may impact the usefulness of the different strategies of communication. The results indicate that short and long videos are the most useful risk communication strategies, and age fully moderates this relationship. This research may serve as a jumping off point for future studies focused on how risk communication strategies may affect consumer acceptance of other emerging food technologies.

The effect of CCC on the growth of wheat in South Australia was assessed in three years, 1967 to 1969. A significant grain yield response was obtained only in the wet year, 1968, and was attributed to increased grain weight. It is suggested that the delay in heading and leaf senescence which occurred in CCC-treated plants allowed a greater assimilation of water and nutrients, thus producing the heavier grains. The lack of response in grain yield in 1967 and 1969 was probably due to moisture stress during gram filling. CCC reduced crop height significantly in 1968 and 1969, but not in the very dry year, 1967. There was evidence that split applications would be more useful than the single applications used in these experiments. Although CCC can give small increases in yield under some conditions, it is unlikely to be of commercial importance for wheat-growing in South Australia.

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.
