e0“lower values in harvest index, thousand kernel weight, N use efficiency for GY (NUE) and N utilization efficiency.”
t0“Winter Wheat”
e1“Compared to the control treatment, across cultivars, the treatment without fungicide mostly exerted stronger and inverse effects than early sowing, on grain yield (GY, −12% without fungicide, +8% n.s. for early sowing)”

- Intervention effect Without fungicide, grain yield was 12% lower than control.
- Intervention effect Early sowing increased grain yield 8%, nonsignificantly.
- Intervention effect Without fungicide, grain nitrogen uptake fell 9%, nonsignificantly.
- Intervention effect Early sowing increased grain nitrogen uptake 5%, nonsignificantly.
- Intervention effect Without fungicide, grain nitrogen concentration increased 4%.
- Intervention effect Early sowing decreased grain nitrogen concentration 2%, nonsignificantly.
- Observation Without fungicide, total dry matter was similar to control.
- Association Lower grain N uptake coincided with similar vegetative N uptake.
- Association Lower grain N uptake coincided with lower N translocation efficiency and N harvest index.
- Intervention effect Early sowing tended to increase total dry matter at anthesis and maturity and post-anthesis assimilation.
- Observation With early sowing, harvest index was similar.
- Intervention effect Early sowing increased grains per spike and total N use efficiency.
- Observation Total N uptake increased after winter but was similar at anthesis.
- Intervention effect Relative N responses in many traits were lower without fungicide.
- Observation Few fungicide interactions were significant.
- Observation Sowing date did not interact with N fertilization for N and dry matter traits.
