Trial data for the period of 2005–2021 have been utilized to assess the inter-relationship of grain protein, iron, and zinc with different plant growth parameters in 10 agro-climatically diverse production environments. Protein registered strong association with the micronutrients. Iron increased with zinc until iron exceeded 50 ppm and zinc was more than 40 ppm. Barring the hills, iron content in late-sown wheat was higher than the timely-sown. Late-sown wheat also registered higher zinc content in four out of the five zones. Iron content was more variable in the late planted short duration genotypes. Analogy was observed between the three quality attributes for the response of plant height, pre- and post-anthesis durations. Comparison of different environments underlined that protein, iron and zinc contents are generally high in the environments where plants are not tall, pre-anthesis period is short and duration of the crop is not prolonged. Significance of the yield governing components was production environment specific. This Relationship was stronger in the late-sown wheat in comparison to the wheat varieties planted under timely sown condition especially in protein and iron. Collective contribution of these descriptors was highly significant but the major driving force differed and out of seven, only 1–2 plant growth parameters could be rated highly significant contributor. Selection criteria based upon only three parameters, i.e., height, heading and maturity have been suggested for certain situations. With some premium on yield, this simple methodology can surely be a way out to enhance grain nutrition properties of wheat.

2005-2021 年期间的试验数据已用于评估 10 个农业气候不同的生产环境中谷物蛋白、铁和锌与不同植物生长参数的相互关系。蛋白质与微量营养素密切相关。铁随锌增加，直到铁超过 50 ppm，锌超过 40 ppm。除丘陵外，晚播小麦铁含量均高于适播小麦。在五个区域中的四个区域，晚播小麦的锌含量也较高。后期种植的短期基因型中铁含量变化更大。在植物高度、开花前和开花后持续时间的响应的三个质量属性之间观察到类比。不同环境的比较强调了蛋白质，在植物不高、花前期短、作物生育期不长的环境中，铁、锌含量普遍较高。产量控制组件的重要性取决于生产环境。与适时播种的小麦品种相比，晚播小麦的这种关系更强，尤其是在蛋白质和铁方面。这些描述符的集体贡献非常显着，但主要驱动力不同，在七个中，只有 1-2 个植物生长参数可以被评为高度显着贡献者。已针对某些情况提出了仅基于三个参数（即高度、标题和成熟度）的选择标准。在收益上有所溢价，
