??? That's not a coefficient. It's a p-value.

I think one generally extracts the coefficients from the model, rather  
than from summary(model):

 > coef(npk.aov)
(Intercept)      block2      block3      block4      block5       
block6          N1
  51.8250000   3.4250000   6.7500000  -3.9000000  -3.5000000    
2.3250000   9.8500000
          P1          K1       N1:P1       N1:K1       P1:K1
   0.4166667  -1.9166667  -3.7666667  -4.7000000   0.5666667

2.3250000   9.8500000
          P1          K1       N1:P1       N1:K1       P1:K1    N1:P1:K1
   0.4166667  -1.9166667  -3.7666667  -4.7000000   0.5666667          NA
