摘要

The critical nitrogen dilution curve (CNDC) and the nitrogen nutrition index (NNI) are robust physiological frameworks for diagnosing in-season plant nitrogen (N) status and formulating optimized nitrogen management strategies. The objective of the study was to develop a CNDC for the spring wheat cultivar HD-3086 and to optimize the N dose based on NNI. Thus, the CNDC was developed using multi-season experimental field data, with the treatments comprising graded N dosages using multiple approaches. The results suggested that the CNDC(G) developed in this study is: Nc = 3.74W−0.431 for a biomass range of 0.96–10.57 tons ha−1. Additionally, a 96% relative yield in wheat can be obtained by maintaining an NNI value of 0.93 at the jointing stage by increasing the N dose from 120 to 180 kg N ha−1. By linking remote sensing and crop simulation modelling, CNDC- and NNI-based N management can be adopted as a sustainable in-season N management strategy in farmers’ fields.
