Synopsis Optimum response is occasionally sought while maintaining a minimum quality factor level. Mathematical analysis may need to be confined within the range of factor levels observed. An example of such an applied problem is worked. It involves searching for the nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizer treatment which will produce the maximum potato yield and yet not cause the specific gravity of the potato tubers to fall below a minimum value.
