Abstract
A distribution function of rice yield deviations from the mean was developed from field experiments with 555 plots at 16 sites in Zhejiang province, China, for three years. The deviation distribution in interval of 50kg/ha appeared as a symmetrical distribution with a high peak (Mean=0.279 [kg/ha], SD=240.686 [kg/ha]). Normality test using Kolmogrove-Smirnov test between the observed cumulative distribution and the normal cumulative distribution function indicates that the observed deviation distribution is not normal. An empirical exponential cumulative distribution function was developed. The distribution function was used to remove outliers during the development of a rice yield fertilizer response model, based on data from a non-replicated NPK field experiment.
