Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect A 240 kg N ha−1 three-way split gave optimum grain yield of 6060.04 kg ha−1.
- Intervention effect Yield had no significant additional response above 240 kg N ha−1.
- Intervention effect The 360 kg N ha−1 level increased grain nitrogen content.
- Intervention effect The 360 kg N ha−1 level increased nitrogen uptake.
- Intervention effect A 120 kg nitrogen three-way split gave the best nitrogen recovery of 59.74%.
- Association Nitrogen use efficiency traits fell as nitrogen rate rose from 120 to 360 kg N ha−1.
- Recommendation The authors recommend 240 kg N ha−1 in three split doses for optimum wheat yield.
