- Intervention effect In year three, BS increased wheat water consumption (WC) by 10.4%.
- Intervention effect In year three, BS increased wheat WUE by 10.7%.
- Intervention effect Basal fertilizer and basal fertilizer with straw produced higher yield and nitrogen nutrition than green manure alone.
- Intervention effect Green manure with basal fertilizer and straw achieved the highest yield and nitrogen nutrition.
