New article of our researchers about closing global yield gap of rainfed wheat by optimizing nitrogen and phosphorus inputs

Our researchers published new article in Science of The Total Environment journal.

This study provides a comprehensive, globally scalable approach to optimizing nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer applications in rainfed wheat systems, ensuring high yields while minimizing environmental impacts. By leveraging GYGA-derived yield gap estimates and regression-based fertilizer prediction models, our findings offer a more sustainable and efficient pathway for global wheat production. The research underscores the importance of site-specific nutrient management, precision agriculture, and supportive policy interventions in promoting global food security while mitigating the negative effects of fertilizer overuse. Looking ahead, the integration of climate-resilient practices and improved fertilizer use efficiency will be critical for the long-term sustainability of wheat systems worldwide.
