GY, grain yield (Mg ha−1); TGW, thousand grain weight; BDW, biomass dry weight; SM, spikes m−2; GS, grains spike1. *For the 2018/19 season, genotypic means of GY were only calculated for all three fertilizer levels combined because the nitrogen fertilizer treatments had significant effect. Means across nitrogen levels (in the row) and across genotypes (in the column), followed by different letters, are significantly different (p < 0.05) according to the Tukey’s honestly significant difference (HSD) test. Levels of significance for the ANOVA: ns, not significant; p < 0.05; ∗∗p < 0.01; ∗∗∗p < 0.001.
