Effect of Foliar and Soil Nitrogen Management on Dry Partitioning of Wheat

Abstract

Enhancing soil fertility and crop productivity requires both mineral nitrogen and foliar nitrogen treatment. In winter 2022–2023, a field An experiment was conducted at the Agronomy Research Farm of The University of Agriculture Peshawar to investigate the effects of managing soil and foliar nitrogen on the dry matter partitioning of wheat crops. In the RCBD factorial design, three replications were used. The experiment consisted of two components: Factor A gave the soil two equal split times of urea, resulting in five stages of soil N supply (between tillering and planting). At rates of 0, 100, 120, 140, and 160 kg N ha-1, half of the nitrogen (urea) was applied to the soil during the sowing stage and the other half during the tillering stage. There were six levels. featured in Factor B. suggested for enhancing wheat crop dry partitioning at the anthesis and physiological maturity stages
