  1. Note: the independent variables x1, x2, and x3 denote the adjustment gradients (%) of the nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizer rates, respectively; OFRN, OFRP, and OFRK are the total nitrogen fertilizer rate, total phosphorus fertilizer rate, and total potassium fertilizer rate, respectively; OYN, OYP, and OYK denote the total nitrogen response yield, total phosphorus response yield, and total potassium response yield, respectively.
