Manure in combination with optimal topdressing with nitrogen fertiliser improved growth, grain yields and the efficiencies of water and nitrogen use in winter wheat in the Xinjiang Oasis drylands
Therefore, we suggest that the combination of 30 t ha<sup>-1</sup> yr<sup>-1</sup> manure and 150 kg ha<sup>-1</sup> topdressing N fertiliser is the optimum fertiliser strategy for improving productivity and efficient water and fertiliser management in dryland winter wheat in the Xinjiang Oasis, where precipitation is low.
