If we broadcast fertilize P&K, and most of us do, we really don't know how our crops respond to higher or lower rates. There are so many other factors involved in making or not making a good yield. Bugs, fungus, the timing of rain or heat, warm nights, cool nights and hybrids all have as much or more of a factor in it than fertility.
