Accurately monitoring coupled water&ndash:nitrogen stress is critical for wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) productivity under climate change. This study developed a machine learning framework utilizing multimodal leaf electrophysiological signals&ndash:&ndash:intrinsic resistance, impedance, capacitive reactance, inductive reactance, and capacitance&ndash:&ndash:to decouple water and nitrogen stress signatures in wheat. A parallel modelling strategy was implemented employing Gradient Boosting, Random Forest, and Ridge Regression, selecting the optimal algorithm per feature based on predictive performance. Controlled pot experiments revealed IZ as the paramount biomarker across leaf positions, indicating its sensitivity to ion flux perturbations under abiotic stress. Crucially, algorithm-feature specificity was identified: Ridge Regression excelled in modeling linear responses due to its superior noise suppression, while GB effectively captured nonlinear dynamics. Flag leaves during reproductive stages provided significantly more stable predictions compared to vegetative third leaves, aligning with their physiological primacy as source organs. This framework offers a robust, non-invasive approach for real-time water and nitrogen stress diagnostics in precision agriculture.
