Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Nitrogen application enhanced grain yield.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen application enhanced biological yield.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen application enhanced straw yield.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen increased tissue nitrogen concentration at all phenological stages in 2020 and 2021.
- Intervention effect The greatest tissue nitrogen accumulation occurred during tillering at 120 kg N ha⁻¹.
- Intervention effect Boron application reduced spikelet sterility.
- Intervention effect Combined 120 kg N ha⁻¹ and 2 kg B ha⁻¹ produced the lowest spikelet sterility, 33.2%, a 35.9% reduction from control.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen application reduced soil pH, especially in 2021.
- Intervention effect Higher nitrogen rates increased total soil nitrogen.
- Intervention effect Boron treatments significantly influenced soil boron availability with variation by year.
- Recommendation The authors recommend balanced nitrogen and boron application to optimize wheat yield.
- Recommendation The authors recommend including micronutrient management in nutrient recommendations to improve wheat profitability.
