The Relative Nutrient Requirements of Plants

NOTE:

The more general relativistic equations:

Y(A) = G' (Xb + Ib) / ln2 [1 - e^{-(ln2
/((G '/ E) (Xb + Ib))}(A + Ia)]

and

Y(B) = E' (Xa + Ia) /ln2 [1 - e^{-
ln2 /((E '/ G)(Xa + Ia))}(B + Ib)]

were used to fit the experimental data;

Where Xa, and Xb are fixed amount of the nutrients A and B such that Xb/Xa does not equal E / G and where Ia and Ib represent the X intercepts for the 1st and 2nd equations above respectively.

Better fits to the experimental data have been obtained as the curve fitting algorithm is improved. A slightly better fit is shown below:

G' and E' are frame adjustment constants.

The constants G and E determine the most use efficient ratio of nutrient A to nutrient B ( E / G) which in this case is about 2.72.

G' = 22.3139452084094

E' = 56.2166915407592

E = 104.216691540759 (called "Easymptote" in the program)

G = 38.3139452084094 (called "Gasymptote" in the program)

E / G = 2.72007205141289

Ia = .105114189086208 (called "Eintercept" in the program)

Ib = 0 (called "Gintercept" in the program)
