Abstract:
      To investigate the effects of polyaspartic-acid/salt (PASP) on paddy nitrogen (N) loss and nutrients utilization, PASP-Ca/Zn and modified PASP-Ca/Zn were used for pot experiments conducted in a rainproof tank. We evaluated the impacts of PASP on N concentrations in surface water, rice growth and its N, P, K uptake, and soil nutrients. The results showed that PASP treatments decreased NH4+-N, NO3--N, and TN concentrations of surface water, with 16.8%~44.7% lower NH4+-N and 20.4%~42.8% lower NO3--N in PASP than the control in day 3 d and 5 d after fertilization, respectively. Addition of PASP promoted rice growth and yield; modified PASP-Ca/Zn significantly increased rice height (12.0%), productive tillers (13.8%), straw yield (9.26%), and grain N concentration (8.32%), with 8.4% higher N use efficiency. NH4+-N concentrations in paddy soil were significantly increased by 28.4%~62.2% in PASP treatments compared to the control, whereas no significant difference in soil available P and K was observed. Considering rice yield, nutrients utilization, and N loss risk of surface water, modified PASP-Ca/Zn was more effective than PASP-Ca/Zn. In this study, modified PASP-Ca treatment was evaluated to be the best, with grain yield 9.21% greater and NH4+-N of the surface water 44.7% lower than the control. However, PASP application effects need to be verified further by field experiments.
