In long-term experiments on fertilizer nutrients and manures, the original data are of zig-zag in nature and there is a need to apply trend-fitting techniques to develop smooth trends to enable interpretation of the data in a better way. Very few attempts have been made in this direction. Present investigation on two long-term experiments was undertaken (i) to fit the trends in crop yields due to various treatments and (ii) to study the characteristics and to compare the trends for assessing the crop response to manure and fertilizer nutrients. The treatment-wise yield data for two crop...
