BIO-ORGANIC NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT ENHANCES SOIL PLANT SYSTEM FUNCTIONING AND VARIETAL YIELD RESPONSE OF SHARBATI WHEAT IN VERTISOLS: A PRINCIPAL COMPONENT ANALYSIS APPROACH
Bio-organic nutrient management is increasingly promoted as a sustainable alternative to conventional fertilization; however, its system-level effects on soil health, crop functional traits, and varietal yield realization remain inadequately quantified, particularly in Vertisol-based wheat systems. This study evaluated...
