Abstract: Nagata has conjectured that the following statement (N_r) holds for all $rgeq10$: (N_r) if $P_1,\mathrm{...}{P}_{r}in{mathbbP}^2$ are generic points then any plane curve $C$ satisfies $su{m}_1^{r}mul{t}_{P_i}(C)leqsqrtrdeg(C)$. Nagata proved (N_r) whenever $r$ is a perfect square. Here we prove (N_r) provided $r=k^2+alpha,1leqalphaleq2k,kgeq3$ and either (i) $alpha$ is odd and $alphageqsqrt2k$ or (ii) $alpha$ is even and at lest 6, and the fractional part of $sqrtr$ is at most $2(sqrt2-1)$.
