=== In agriculture: modeling crop response === The logistic S-curve can be used for modeling the crop response to changes in growth factors. There are two types of response functions: ''positive'' and ''negative'' growth curves. For example, the crop yield may ''increase'' with increasing value of the growth factor up to a certain level (positive function), or it may ''decrease'' with increasing growth factor values (negative function owing to a negative growth factor), which situation requires an ''inverted'' S-curve. {{multiple image | perrow = 2 | width1 = 300px | width2 = 300px | image1 = Sugarcane S-curve.png | caption1 = S-curve model for crop yield versus depth of [[water table]]<ref>Collection of data on crop production and depth of the water table in the soil of various authors.
