Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv. Tropic) was used as a test plant in evaluating the interactions for simultaneously correcting deficiencies of N and P and improving physical properties of soil with a soil conditioner. The three limiting factors were improved singly and in all possible combinations. There was response to each input. The least response to the soil conditioner was with N and P, and the most response was when N and P were also used. The combined effect appeared to be synergistic. The results emphasize that the best crop management system involves overcoming as many limiting factors as possible. This is the key to high-yield agriculture.
