Question 56

The graph shows the change in crop yield of wheat when different masses of nitrogen fertiliser are added to fields.

A line graph showing the relationship between nitrogen fertiliser applied and wheat yield.

a.

State the mass of nitrogen fertiliser at which nitrogen ceases to be a limiting factor for the growth of the wheat crop.

[1]
b.

Calculate the percentage increase in wheat yield when the mass of nitrogen fertiliser applied is increased from 100 kg/ha100\text{ kg/ha}100 kg/ha to 150 kg/ha150\text{ kg/ha}150 kg/ha.

[2]
c.

Suggest a biological reason why wheat crops can still grow and produce a yield when no nitrogen fertiliser is added.
