Error in Figure and Table

There was an error in the original publication [1]. A correction has been made to Figure 1 of the manuscript to address the confusion between the treatment combinations. We have also corrected the appropriate table citation for each table, specifically for Table 2 which is showing treatment details; now it provides clear details of all treatment combinations. A slight change was made in Section 3.4 where we corrected the plant height reference, because plant height was determined in the field study; therefore, we corrected that sentence as well. The reason behind this particular change was that this section refers to crop growth and nutrient uptake; in our study we assessed crop growth and nutrient uptake only in the field experiment (which can be seen in Figure 3); therefore, to avoid any confusion we clearly mention the “field experiment” here.
The corrected Figure and Table citations and Section 3.4 text correction appear below.

Text Correction

Moreover, the treatment abbreviations cited correctly below each table and figure to address readability issues. So, the text in the captions of Figures 1–3 and Table 3 and Table 4 should be “Treatment abbreviations can be found in Table 2”.
In Section 3.4, issue of plant height citation is also corrected accordingly, the sentence “According to the results after the amendment of treatments, it was observed that the wheat plant’s height increased by 22% in PLB+PH-amended treatments in the pot experiment (Figure 1).” has been deleted. Now the plant height citation belongs to Figure 3.
Figure 1. Macronutrient concentrations in soil and plants under each treatment. Values represent the mean with three replications. Treatment abbreviations can be found in Table 2. The small letters on bars indicate significant differences among treatments at 5% probability levels, where significance was tested by using the multiple comparison LSD test. Error bars indicate the standard error of the mean (n = 3).
The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
