Agronomic Practices and Intercropping Systems

Nitrogen topdressing timing regulates basal internode structure and mechanical properties in winter wheat, improving lodging resistance by 41.8% and yield by 12.2%.

Analysis of dual-purpose cereal crops reveals oat optimal for combined grain-forage production, barley best for forage alone, with rainfall variability as primary constraint to economic viability.

Two-year field study shows hybrid wheat Jingmai 17 sown late achieves optimal yield and source-sink balance at 300 plants·m−2, improving grain filling and yield stability.
