Plant nutrient deficiencies are the main yield-limiting factors in highly weathered acid soils around the world. Five greenhouse experiments were conducted on an Oxisol to identify nutrient deficiencies in common bean, upland rice, corn, wheat, and soybean. The treatments consisted of 13 fertility levels including an adequate level and remaining without application of one of the essential plant macro or micronutrients. Dry matter yield of tops of all the crop species was affected by fertility treatments; however, siginficant effects of treatments were obtained in the case of common bean, upland rice, and corn. Based on tops dry weight under different treatments compared to adequate fertility level (AFL), the most yield-limiting nutrients were in the order of phosphorus (P) > calcium (Ca) > magnesium (Mg) > boron (B)> zinc (Zn) for common bean, P> molybdenum (Mo) for upland rice, and P for corn. For the wheat crop, there was substantial decrease in tops dry weight in the absence of Ca, P, and potassium (K) nutrients. In the case of soybean, substantial tops dry weight reduction was due to deficiency in the order of P > Ca> Zn.
