However, with adequate irrigation, a low planting density resulted in a higher yield, while a high planting density combined with adequate irrigation reduced the yield by 14.7 % compared with typical conditions (typical irrigation + typical planting density).

The dry matter accumulation and harvest index showed no significant differences between typical irrigation + typical planting density and deficit irrigation + high planting density.

Conventional tillage practices, coupled with indiscriminate fertilizer application in wheat-based rotations, precipitate the degradation of natural resource bases, thereby posing an ominous threat to the rice-wheat cropping system (RWCS) prevalent in the Indo-Gangetic plains (IGP). Nonetheless, the adoption of zero-tillage (ZT) techniques, co-implemented with the judicious dispensation of nutrients through precision nutrient management (PNM), holds the potential to mitigate nutrient losses, curtail environmental ramifications, and augment the overall sustainability of wheat cultivation within the RWCS paradigm. Hence, efforts were made to investigate the impact of PNM on productivity, use efficiency of nutrients (N<sub>t</sub>UE), root morphology, soil enzymatic activities, and the N<sub>2</sub>O fluxes in ZT-wheat (ZT-W).

The result revealed that the PNM practices, like Nutrient Expert + Leaf colour chart (LCC)based NPK[NE-(LCC<sub>N</sub>) NPK] co-implemented with ZT significantly (p&lt;0.05) improved the grain yield by (8.05 %), and nutrient use efficiency (NUE) by 58.1 %) but STB-NPK produce ∼ 17.1 % higher grain yield than the RDF.

Similarly, the root length density (RLD), root surface area density (RSAD) and root volume density (RVD) of wheat were found greater under STB-NPK and NE-(LCC<sub>N</sub>) NPK than the RDF. Furthermore, the soil enzymatic activity was considerably enhanced due to PNM in the ZT-wheat system compared to the remaining treatments. The STB-NPK, and NE-(LCC<sub>N</sub>) NPK, also improved the crop yield, and photo-synthetically active radiation (PAR) through greater leaf area index (LAI) besides other soil-based parameters of wheat. The NE-(LCC<sub>N</sub>) NPK notably improves N<sub>t</sub>UE, and minimises the GHGs emission than the others.

Rice yield was higher in wet (5.3 Mg ha<sup>−1</sup>) than in dry seasons (3.7 Mg ha<sup>−1</sup>), while the variability was higher in the dry (CV = 46%) than in the wet seasons (CV = 29%). Also, the yield gap was slightly higher in the dry (36%) than in the wet seasons (31%). While differences in the number of seedlings per hill and the source of seeds were the key drivers of yield variability in wet-season rice, the split of N fertilizer applications, bird control, and the soil dryness index were the most important in dry-season rice. Furthermore, within seasons, high-yielding fields had higher water productivity, and N, P, and K use efficiencies.</p></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>These findings suggest that rice yields can be increased without trade-offs with water productivity and nutrient use efficiencies.</p></div><div><h3>Significance</h3><p>This is the first study highlighting the season-specificity of determinants of variability of yield and water productivity in irrigated rice in West Africa. Improved water and fertilizer management can contribute to achieving the dual goal of narrowing the yield gap and improving water productivity, while increasing nutrient use efficiency, particularly in the dry season.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":12143,"journal":{"name":"Field Crops Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0378429024002727/pdfft?md5=b8be185c7ecefe832a920980a50c4177&pid=1-s2.0-S0378429024002727-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141947442","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Past progress has largely been associated with greater grains/m<sup>2</sup> (GN), the critical period for the determination of which relates to spike growth, with GN often closely related to spike dry weight at anthesis (g/m<sup>2</sup>).</p></div><div><h3>Objective/Methods</h3><p>This focussed review outlines the importance of the critical period duration (Ds, in days or °Cdays) and questions how it may be increased genetically, relying partly on the long involvement of the authors in this field, primarily with lower latitude crops of spring-type wheat. Ds is further defined as the interval between flag leaf emergence and first anthesis, each across 50 % of the culms in any crop, a period encompassing most of the accumulation of spike dry matter, in turn determining floret survival and final fertile floret numbers/m<sup>2</sup>.</p></div><div><h3>Results</h3><p>Natural temperature variation and temperature manipulation, particularly in field crops, confirm the dependence of Ds on temperature, which in °Cdays varies from about 300–500, depending on photoperiod. Evidence points to a stronger influence of night than day temperature on Ds, while maintaining the close positive Ds relationship to GN. However, genetic variation in the response of Ds to temperature appears very minor. Ds is inversely related to photoperiod, again with the expected effects on spike dry weight, fertile florets and GN. Extended photoperiod during the critical period showed the greatest reduction in GN per day advance in anthesis. Ds responses can be related to the major photoperiod sensitivity alleles present. A field experiment with a unique reduced photoperiod treatment demonstrated a strong positive effect on Ds, fertile florets and GN, especially in the fully recessive photoperiod-sensitive isoline. While more recent varieties tend to have a longer Ds, experiments targeting selection for Ds or closely related intervals have delivered little change in Ds, which often showed low heritability.</p></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>Field photoperiod shortening studies needs further testing as proof of concept. Better selection studies are also needed. At the same time, knowledge of the molecular basis of the leaf response to photoperiod is such that gene editing is surely ripe to tackle the challenge of down-regulating this response only during the critical period, thereby increasing Ds and GN. Exogenous application of plant development regulators at the appropriate stage may also provide a way forward.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":12143,"journal":{"name":"Field Crops Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0378429024002508/pdfft?md5=c634a6945f0448f11d0d04019ebdb96a&pid=1-s2.0-S0378429024002508-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141769198","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
