When it comes to the most effective nutrition plan, Liebig's Law of the Minimum states that yield is proportional to the amount of the most limiting nutrient, whichever nutrient it may be.  From this, it may be inferred that if the deficient nutrient is supplied, yields may be improved to the point that some other nutrient is needed in greater quantity.

Director of Agronomic Services at Yara, Dr. Steve Petrie, discusses this law of minimum as we begin a weekly series of agronomic tips that will be published each Tuesday.
