Internal Utilization Efficiency (IUE)

Yield produced per unit of total nutrient in the plant.

internal_utilization_efficiency(yield, total_uptake, verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

yield

Numeric vector. Crop yield (kg/ha).

total_uptake

Numeric vector. Total plant nutrient uptake (kg/ha).

verbose

Logical. If TRUE, prints informational messages. Default TRUE.

Value

Numeric vector. Internal utilization efficiency (kg yield per kg nutrient uptake).

Details

Formula: $$IE = \frac{Yield}{Total Nutrient Uptake}$$

Examples

internal_utilization_efficiency(yield = 4500, total_uptake = 100)
#> IUE computed (kg/kg).
#> [1] 45
