Nutrient synergy in wheat: Impacts of nitrogen and boron on productivity, accumulation, and soil nutrient retention.

ABSTRACT: Efficient nutrient management remains a critical challenge in wheat production, particularly in optimizing productivity while maintaining soil fertility. Among essential nutrients, nitrogen (N) and boron (B) play vital roles in plant growth and grain development, yet their combined effects are not fully understood. To address this gap, a field experiment was conducted from November 2019 to April 2020 in Khairahani, Chitwan, Nepal, to evaluate the effects of different N and B application levels on wheat performance and nutrient retention. The experiment followed a split-plot design, with four N levels (0, 80, 100, and 120 kg ha ⁻ ¹) as main plots and three B levels (0, 1, and 2 kg ha ⁻ ¹) as subplots, replicated three times. Results showed that 120 kg ha ⁻ ¹ of N significantly increased eff
