Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Optimized late sowing gave near-optimum wheat nitrogen status.
- Intervention effect Optimized late sowing maintained high wheat yield.
- Intervention effect Late sowing lowered aboveground N uptake at anthesis versus normal sowing.
- Intervention effect Optimized late sowing increased flag leaf N allocation.
- Observation Optimized late sowing produced steeper canopy green leaf area N.
- Observation N allocation to individual wheat plants was unchanged.
- Observation Late sowing raised maximum photosynthetic rate.
- Observation Late sowing increased post-anthesis dry matter accumulation rate.
- Observation Grain yield was consistent among three sowing treatments.
- Intervention effect Reduced N input under optimized late sowing reduced soil mineral N at harvest.
- Intervention effect Reduced N input under optimized late sowing reduced apparent N loss.
