Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation Wheat harvest index varied spatially from 0.43 to 0.67, with central and northern areas higher.
- Association For irrigated wheat, geographic-climatic factors ranked ahead of soil nutrient and agronomic management factors for harvest index.
- Association Longitude, plant height, latitude and bulk density were key drivers of irrigated wheat harvest index.
- Association For rainfed wheat, soil nutrients ranked ahead of geographic-climatic and agronomic factors for harvest index.
- Association Total nitrogen, available phosphorus, total potassium and total phosphorus were critical drivers of rainfed wheat harvest index.
- Intervention effect Irrigation increased wheat harvest index compared with rainfed production.
- Intervention effect Irrigated wheat had higher yield than rainfed wheat.
- Recommendation The authors suggest optimizing phosphorus management to enhance harvest index in both irrigation systems.
- Recommendation The authors consider irrigation infrastructure important for yield stability.
