Application of Remedial Fertilizers for Optimum Yield of Garlic Using a Mathematical Model

Abstract

At times, it is found that the yield from a commercial plantation is affected adversely because of inadequate intake of fertilizers by the plants. The possible reasons behind decrease in fertilizer intake may be due to both natural causes and man-made .In order to ensure the optimal yield in the event of above mentioned circumstances a mathematical model has been proposed for detecting inadequacy of fertilizers and recommending additional fertilizer doses that need be applied by the farmers for optimum yield. Here garlic plantation has been considered to illustrate the applicability of the proposed mathematical model.
