- Intervention effect HDN seedlings reduced shoot and root dry weight by 25–40 % relative to conventional seedlings.
- Intervention effect HDN seedlings had a 35–45 % lower fine-to-thick root ratio than conventional seedlings.
- Mechanism Compromised root development in HDN seedlings was likely caused by nutrient competition and spatial constraints in the nursery stage.
- Intervention effect HDN seedlings produced 10–15 % more tillers at the maximum tillering stage in the field.
- Intervention effect HDN seedlings gave no significant difference in final yield under standard cultivation practices.
- Recommendation Both nursery duration and nutrient management should be optimized to ensure stable performance of HDN seedlings.
- Recommendation Long-term and large-scale validation of HDN techniques is recommended.
