Or if you really can't bear to write out 20 terms have R do it for you:
# number of terms is the number of unique values in ref column
nterms <- length(unique(dproot$ref))
dproot2 <- do.call(data.frame, transform(dproot, ref =
outer(dproot$ref, seq(nterms),
"==") + 0))
# construct the formula as a string
terms <- paste( sprintf("Rm%d*ref.%d", 1:nterms, 1:nterms), collapse = "+")
fo <- sprintf("den ~ (%s)/(1+(depth/d50)^c)", terms)
library(nlmrt)
fm <- nlxb(fo, data = dproot2, masked = "Rm6",
start = c(Rm1=1.01, Rm2=1.01, Rm3=1.01, Rm4=6.65, Rm5=1.01, Rm6=1,
d50=20, c=-1))
