- Intervention effect Nutrient treatments significantly affected wheat grain yield, biomass, and yield components.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen omission significantly reduced all measured wheat parameters.
- Intervention effect Phosphorus omission significantly reduced all measured wheat parameters.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen omission produced the greatest yield loss, comparable to the negative control.
- Intervention effect Potassium omission had no significant effect on wheat yield.
- Intervention effect Sulfur omission had no significant effect on wheat yield.
- Intervention effect Zinc omission had no significant effect on wheat yield.
- Intervention effect Boron omission had no significant effect on wheat yield.
- Intervention effect NP treatment grain yield was statistically comparable to complete nutrient treatment.
- Recommendation Targeted nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer application may improve wheat productivity and nutrient use efficiency.
