- Intervention effect Mineral NPK fertilizers increased wheat susceptibility to powdery mildew relative to composted FYM.
- Intervention effect Herbicides reduced wheat lodging.
- Intervention effect Fungicides reduced wheat foliar disease severity.
- Intervention effect Growth regulators reduced wheat lodging.
- Intervention effect The crop protection and regulator treatments had no effect on leaf phenolic acid and flavonoid concentrations.
- Intervention effect Composted FYM inputs significantly reduced wheat grain yield.
- Intervention effect Composted FYM did not substantially reduce Septoria severity.
- Mechanism The authors identify Septoria as a major yield limiting factor without fungicides or more resistant varieties.
