Abstract

Wheat is the second most crucial food grain in India, following rice, and plays a significant role in the country's staple diet, contributing 35% to the total food grain production. India cultivates wheat across 28.17 million hectares, achieving a production of 73.70 million tonnes and a productivity of 26.17 q/ha. The country is responsible for 13% of global wheat production. The Green Revolution significantly boosted India's food production over the past 50 years, transforming it from a major importer of wheat into a leading producer. Uttar Pradesh, a key wheat-growing state, contributes significantly with 9 million hectares of cultivation, yielding 22.51 million tonnes and a productivity of 25.02 q/ha. This study explores how different levels of nitrogen and foliar nutrient sprays influence the yield and nutrient uptake of wheat, aiming to enhance productivity and efficiency in this vital sector
