Wheat, as one of the world’s primary staple crops, plays a crucial role in ensuring global food security. This study explores fertilization strategies aimed at achieving high and stable wheat yields through field experiments. We evaluated the roles of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizers in wheat development, and systematically designed a field trial with appropriate site selection, treatment replications, and statistical methods. Particular attention was given to optimizing nitrogen application through split and stage-specific fertilization, and to the effectiveness of integrated nutrient management, including the use of micronutrients and slow-release fertilizers. We also assessed the environmental and economic implications of fertilization schemes and conducted a regional case study to validate our approach. The results demonstrated notable yield improvements and resource use efficiency. This study highlights the potential of tailored fertilization schemes in stabilizing wheat yield while balancing environmental sustainability and economic viability, and provides practical guidance for future nutrient management strategies and policy development.
