- Intervention effect Straw mulching increased fertile spikes in wheat.
- Intervention effect Straw mulching increased wheat grain number per spike by 15.6%.
- Association Grain number per spike made the largest contribution to wheat yield increase, at 46%.
- Association Wheat grain number per spike was associated with fertile florets per spike.
- Intervention effect Straw mulching increased wheat fertile florets per spike by 19.5%.
- Intervention effect Fertile florets per spike increased with phosphorus fertilization level.
- Intervention effect Straw mulching with phosphorus fertilizer promoted flag-leaf light compensation point and light saturation point.
- Intervention effect Straw mulching with phosphorus fertilizer promoted flag-leaf net photosynthetic rate, Chl b and maximal photosystem II efficiency.
- Mechanism Spike assimilate utilization efficiency was identified as the primary factor in fertile floret divergence under straw mulch and phosphorus application.
- Mechanism The authors linked improved spike assimilate use to increased grain number and grain yield.
