Abstract:
      A field experiment was conducted to study the effects of one-time fertilization of water-borne polymer coated controlled release blend fertilizer on rice growth, rice yield, plant nitrogen absorption, soil nitrogen dynamics and nitrogen-containing gas emissions(NH3 and N2O). Rice cultivar used was Nanjing 46. Three treatments were no fertilization, conventional fertilization, and one-time fertilization of water-borne polymer coated controlled release blend fertilizer(controlled release nitrogen accounted for 30%). One-time fertilization treatment increased rice yield to 6 506.9 kg·hm-2 from 6 201.9 kg·hm-2 in the conventional fertilization, but slightly reduced NH3 and N2O average concentrations in soil headspace to 18.63 μmol·mol-1 and 7.74 μmol·mol-1 from 19.14 μmol·mol-1 and 8.40 μmol·mol-1 in the conventional fertilization, respectively. The residual nitrate nitrogen and ammonium nitrogen in soil showed an increase tendency in the one-time fertilization. The agronomic efficiency of nitrogen was 7.81 kg grain·kg-1 N for the conventional fertilization, while it was 9.09 kg grain·kg-1 N for the one-time fertilization. Therefore, the one-time fertilization showed more stable nitrogen supply, and also improved nitrogen utilization efficiency.
