- Association Landscape position affected wheat yield more than nutrient sources or rates.
- Association Crop fertilizer response decreased as slope increased.
- Association Soil organic carbon decreased with increasing slope.
- Association Soil clay content decreased with increasing slope.
- Association Soil water content decreased with increasing slope.
- Association Higher nutrient application rates increased differences between landscape positions.
- Association Differences between landscape positions diminished at lower nutrient rates.
- Intervention effect Potassium application increased yield only in dry years.
- Intervention effect Zinc application yielded hardly any benefit.
- Intervention effect Sulfur application yielded hardly any benefit.
- Association Nitrogen recovery fraction decreased with increasing slope.
- Association Crop water productivity decreased with increasing slope.
- Recommendation Landscape position can guide targeted fertilizer application.
- Recommendation The authors recommend organic fertilizers and conservation measures on hillslopes.
