Determination of crop yield

 

1.   At crop maturity, harvest the central 5 -m2 area in each treatment plot.

2.     Make sure that all the grains in the 5 -m2 areas are collected and the harvested samples are properly placed in labeled bags.

3.     Thresh and clean the harvested grain samples.

4.     Sun dry the grain sample to constant weight.

5.     Convert the sample weight to yield in t ha−1 by using the formula:

Yield (t ha−1) = [(Sample yield in kg)/5] x 10

6.  Determine the N, P, K response:

          N response = Yield in NPK – Yield in PK

          P response = Yield in NPK – Yield in NK

          K response = Yield in NPK – Yield in NP
