Nutrient Cycling and Nitrogen Management Impact of Sowing Method and Soil Water Consumption on Yield Nitrogen Utilization in Dryland Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

The current study was designed to investigate the best sowing method that encourages dry matter accumulation increase dryland wheat yield, grain quality, and protein content. Three different seeding methods were applied: (I) wide-space (WSS), (II) furrow sowing, (III) drill sowing. Two nitrogen levels, namely low (N1) high (N2), also applied, pure 150 kg ha−1 210 ha−1, respectively. Wide-space significantly increased ears yield production, maximum, average grain-filling rate while delayed disappearance of population after anthesis, duration filling, then number spikes 1000-grain weight increased, Drill compared content in harvest index, it protein, In addition, wide-precision higher than trench Our findings suggest beneficial for increasing water consumption during growth period, tiller dynamics, improving plant protein.
