Balanced Fertilisation and the Liebig's Law of Minimum
The importance of balanced fertilisation in increasing crop yields is recognised world-wide. Nutrient imbalance produces low yields, low fertiliser use efficiency, and low profits for farmers. It also results in further depletion of the most deficient nutrients in the soil. Once the critical level of any one plant nutrient is reached, crop yields will fall despite the fact large amounts of other nutrients are applied.
