The number of plants per unit area that would give maximum yield is termed as optimum plant population (Willey & Heath, 1969). Competition is generally refer to the negative effects on plant growth caused by the presence of neighbors, usually by reducing the availability of resources (Paul & James, 2019).

Optimization of cultural conditions for lactic acid production by lactobacill...eSAT Journals
Abstract The effects on the lactic acid (LA) production by thermophile Lactobacillus bulgaricus ATTC 11842 on whey as a basal medium of seven factors namely, temperature °C, pH, Lactose g/l, Yeast extract g/l, corn steep liquor (CSL) g/l, K2HPO4 g/l, and salts g/l (MnSO4, MgSO4 and FeSO4) were investigated, through the statistical analysis of the results by Plackett and Burmann experimental design. pH was found to have the high significant effect on lactic acid production. By response surface methodology (RSM) design the optimal value of pH and concentrations in the medium of yeast extract, K2HPO4 and salts were then investigated, it should be 5.5 of pH, 2.73 g/l of K2HPO4, 1.59 g/l of yeast extract and 0.0326 g/l, 0.1304 g/l, 0.01304 g/l of MgSO4, MnSO4 and FeSO4 respectively. The results obtained with the optimal results were 20.9592 g/l. of lactic acid and the corresponding yields was 0.5665% (ratio between the amount of lactic acid produced and the initial concentration of lactose).

Agrobiology
➢ Agrobiology is the science of plant nutrition and growth in
relation to soil conditions specially to determine the ways to
increase crop yield.
➢ It is the division of agricultural science which considers the
general relations of plant to their environment.
➢ Main Consideration for External process in relation to plant
growth.
1. To determined the Perfect Environment.
2. Maximum yielding ability or growth.
3. Growth factors to obtain maximum yield.

1. Mitscherlich’s Equation
✓ Mitscherlich developed an equation that related growth to supply
of plant nutrients.
✓ When plants were supplied with adequate amount of all but one
nutrient, their growth was proportional to the amount of this one
limiting element that was supplied to the soil. Plant growth
increases as more of this element added but the increase in
growth was progressively smaller with each successful addition
of the element.
✓ Mathematically : ∝ (A-y)……………………... (1).
or, = (A-y) c [ c = Efficiency factor ]
[ c = Efficiency constant ]

dy = increase in yield resulting from an increment dx of the growth
factor x.
A = maximum possible yield obtained by supplying all growth
factors in optimum amount.
y = yield obtained after given quantity of the growth factor x.
c = Proportionality constant.
❖ Mitscherlich equation with logarithm :
log (A-y) = log A – cx ……………………………. (2).
✓ Mathematically derived from Mitscherlich equation:
Y = A (1 – 10-cx) ……………………………..(3)
This equation is Also called Spillman’s equation.

❖ Calculation of the value of the proportionality constant (c) :
We know that : log (A - y) = log A - c (x)
or, cx = log A - log (A-y)
or, cx = log ( )
When nutrient supply (x) is increased to produce 50% of the
maximum yield then,
cx = log ( ) = log 2 = 0.301
c = 0.301.

➢ Now, log (A-y) = log A- 0.301 (x) ………………… (4)
or, log (100 – y) = log 100 – 0.301 (x) ……………….. (5)
This equation (5) is called Mitscherlich-Baule equation.
Mitscherlich derived different values for different nutrient :
➢ Value for c : (c denotes Slope of the curve).

❖ Calculating relative yield by addition of growth factor up to 10
unit :
✓ For 1 unit of growth factor : (x = 1)
log (100 – y) = log 100 – 0.301 (x)
or, log (100 – y) = log 100 – 0.301 × 1
or, log (100 – y) = 2 – 0.301 (log 100 = 2)
or, log (100 – y) = 1.699
or, log (100 – y) = log 50 (Anti log 1.699 = log 50)
or, (100 – y) = 50
or, y = 50
✓ For addition of 1 unit of the growth factor x results in a yield that
is 50% of the maximum.

❖ However, 2 unit of growth factor were present :
log (100 – y) = log 100 – 0.301 (x)
or, log (100 – y) = log 100 – 0.301 × 2
or, log (100 – y) = 2 – 0.602
or, log (100 – y) = 1.398
or, log (100 – y) = log 25
or, (100 – y) = 25
y = 75
Simultaneously, do the same for up to 10 unit.
The table are given below up to 10 unit of growth factor.

Drawback of Mitscherlich Law
❖ Mitscherlich assumed that c = 0.122 for
N, 0.6 for P & 0.4 for K, and curve is
asymptotic but if the climate will
change or soil acidity or alkalinity will
changed or any other wide variation
this single factor value (i.e. c value for
N,P,K) will not covered properly.
❖ So, log (A - y) = log A - c (x) It doesn’t
cover all variation of cultivation of
productionenvironment.
❖ In this graph Mitscherlich doesn’t
consider the point of inversion (M). At
that point yield Will decreases and the
curve Will Quadratic instead of
Asymptotic due to Toxicity effect.

When, “c” Value for N = 0.122, P2O5 = 0.6, K2O = 0.4

So, For N, X (N) = = 2.5 Dz / ha.
or, ( 2.5 × 101.5 ) = 253.8 kg / ha.
or, (253.8 × 2.205 ) = 559.52 lb.

or, ( 0.5 × 101.5 ) = 50.8 kg / ha.
or, ( 50.8 × 2.205 ) = 112.01 lb.
or ( 112.01 ÷ 2.5 ) = 44.8 lb / acre.
or, ≅ 45 lb / acre.
And Similarly, For K2O, x (K2O) ≅ 76 lb / acre.
Remember , Baule Unit for Nutrient interaction will be…. 1.2, 2.3, 3.1, 3.6, 4.2, etc.

✓ Law : The power of growth or yielding ability of any crop plant
is inversely proportional to the mean nitrogen content in the dry
matter.

➢ When all growth factors are available with adequate amount and
plants produces maximum genetic potential yield or when plants
produce maximum dry matter then the plants uptake maximum
nitrogen and then maximum nitrogen uptake is 318 pound / acre.
So, constant k = 318. y = =
