By using real-time remote sensing data, we can achieve root zone directional fertilization and variable fertilization. These methods can improve the utilization rate of nitrogen fertilizer and reduce the total amount of fertilizer used. Without affecting the yield, it can also save labor costs. Because these technologies can take into account the differences in soil and crop conditions in different locations, more targeted management can be achieved, which will help promote more resource-saving and efficient fertilization methods. At the same time, it is also necessary to cultivate wheat varieties that are more efficient in nutrient utilization. In this way, even if a large amount of fertilizer is not used, future food needs can be met. Some simulation studies have shown that if wheat genotypes with "strong storage traits" are used, the yield can be increased by 16% under the existing nitrogen application conditions, and even more under climate change conditions. Moreover, this variety can use less fertilizer and put less pressure on the environment. Long-term field trials also illustrate a problem: if you want high wheat yields, you can't just rely on good seeds, but also on reasonable fertilization methods. The combination of the two can truly bring out the yield potential. If we want to promote these good methods, we need supporting policies. These policies should encourage more research, support agricultural technology extension services, and use subsidies or rewards to encourage farmers to use new technologies. At the same time, we should encourage the development of fertilization recommendations and decision-making tools that are more suitable for local conditions. Policies should also help farmers solve the problems of difficulty in accessing technology and lack of training, and promote cooperation between scientific researchers, enterprises and governments. Only in this way can scientific and sustainable fertilization methods be truly used in the fields and play a long-term role.
