Required: Recommended rate of nutrient: Amount to reduce the nutrient rate: Cost of a unit of nutrient: Price of a unit of harvested crop: Expected yield: Optional: Yield with no nutrient applied: (must be 0 or lower)

Calculations Economic break even yield response: Predicted yield response: Reduced nutrient application rate: Estimated yield at reduced rate: Estimated Response Equation Parameters* R (nutrient:crop price ratio) a (yield with no nutrient) c (curvature) b (slope)
*for yield = a + bx + cx 2 , where x = nutrient rate
