Abstract

The study investigates the influence of different factors on the nutritional content of wheat grains, focusing on crude protein, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium contents in grain. Results indicate that varying combinations of factors such as NPK fertilization, farmyard manure (FYM) application, and bio-stimulant usage significantly affect nutrient concentrations in grain. Crude protein content, a vital indicator of grain quality, showed variability across the different treatments, with the highest levels observed in plots receiving RDF @100% + FYM@16.5 t ha-1 + SWBS@1250 ml ha-1. The crude protein content primarily relies on the nitrogen levels. In the research, the findings indicated that the nitrogen content was significant, which, in turn, led to a significant crude protein content. The levels of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium content also exhibited fluctuations, with significant interactions observed among various factors. These fluctuations are attributed to differences in nutrient uptake and utilization during the different growth stages of the wheat plant. All three factors can enhance the nutrient uptake facilities through soil as well as plant body, therefore, notably, interactions between NPK, FYM, and bio-stimulants exhibited significant effects on nutrient content, particularly at the 0.05 significance level. The findings underscore the importance of holistic agricultural management in enhancing the nutritional value of wheat grains, with implications for food security and agricultural sustainability.
