Abstract
The review explores the impact of phosphorus on the wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), focusing on yield and yield attributes. Phosphorus is a critical macronutrient, playing a significant role in various plant processes, including energy transfer, photosynthesis, and signal transduction. This research examines how varying phosphorus levels influence wheatâs morphological characteristics such as root development, leaf morphology, Seedling establishment and Overall plant structures. Physiological responses, including photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, and chlorophyll content, were measured to understand the nutrientâs effect on plant metabolism and overall health. Biochemical changes were assessed through analyses of enzyme activities, protein content, and nutrient uptake efficiency. The findings indicate that optimal phosphorus application enhances root biomass, improves photosynthetic efficiency, and increases the synthesis of essential proteins and enzymes, leading to better growth and development. Consequently, these enhancements positively affect yield components like grain number, grain weight, and overall biomass. The study underscores the importance of balanced phosphorus nutrition in achieving higher yield and improved quality of wheat crops, providing valuable insights for sustainable agricultural practices and efficient fertilizer management.
