THE ENHANCING IMPACT OF FOLIAR FERTILISERS ON QUALITY INDICES OF WHEAT
Abstract
Achieving profitable crop production milestones hinges on the establishment of a robust soil fertility program. Such programs demand foresight and meticulous planning. To ensure the profitability and efficiency of wheat cultivation, it is imperative to provide the right amount of essential plant nutrients precisely when and where the crop requires them. The application rates of fertilizers hold little significance if these vital nutrients are not distributed at the appropriate locations and times. Wheat, in particular, exhibits a heightened sensitivity to fertilization, responding favorably to the application of fertilizers. This is due to the fact that grains consume relatively modest quantities of nutrients, primarily because their roots explore a smaller volume of soil. Additionally, they possess a limited capacity for solubilizing and absorbing nutrients in highly soluble forms when compared to other crops. The influence of foliar fertilizers on various plant species is diverse and contingent upon the specific plant type and even its variety. Foliar application can offer the advantage of improved nutrient accessibility for crops, ultimately leading to higher yields. The judicious fertilization of wheat crops, contingent upon soil fertility, significantly contributes to the quality of grain production. The presence and balance of both macro and microelements play a pivotal role in crop nutrition, ultimately leading to higher yields. The primary objective of this study was to assess variations in several wheat quality indicators under conditions of varying nitrogen (N) levels.
