One-time fertilization of controlled-release urea with compound fertilizer and rapeseed cake maintains rice grain yield and improves nitrogen use efficiency under reduced nitrogen conditions

Yajie Hu,

et al.

Abstract: Nitrogen (N) rate reduction and simplified fertilization can mitigate environmental impacts and reduce the involvement of manual labor in rice (Oryza sativa L.) production. Controlled-release urea (CRU) has been recommended as an effective alternative technique to conventional urea fertilization, and it can improve rice yield and N use efficiency (NUE) and reduce labor costs. However, the information on the effects of one-time fertilization with CRU on maintaining yield and improving NUE under reduced chemical… Show more

“…This may be due to the fact that better synchronization between high plant N demand and sufficient N availability in the soil at appropriate growth stages accounts for the higher yield response under split applications [41]. Interestingly, one-time root zone fertilization has also been demonstrated to successfully enhance the increase in the production of cotton and rice [42,43]. This suggests that precise nitrogen management in the root zone could provide a higher intensity of nitrogen supply, promoting efficient nutrient absorption by crops [44].…”

“…Chemical fertilizers as important nutrients determine plant growth and crop yield, which further affects the food supplies. Currently, excessive and inappropriate use of chemical fertilizers has caused severe economic and environmental problems, including resource waste and water pollution. , The controlled release fertilizer (CRF) method enables the sufficient use of nutrients from fertilizers, avoiding nutrient loss resulting from volatilization and leaching, achieving labor-saving one-time fertilization. However, the CRF method often faces difficulty for practical large-scale application due to the following reasons: first, the current reported commercial CRFs are usually economically costly and show an unsatisfied release efficiency for crop cultivation; , second, the reported CRF materials are mainly petroleum-based polymers synthesized by a redundant process and often introduce toxic substances into the fertilizers. Petroleum-based polymers are difficult in biodegradation and circulation, resulting in environmental and energy problems, while the biodegradable materials including starch, lignin, cellulose, and chitosan indicate serious weakness in mechanical strength. Besides, biodegradable materials usually result in fast nutrient release often due to abundance in hydrophilic groups, impeding their practical and large-scale application . Therefore, development of an environmentally friendly fertilizer delivery method based on advanced materials is highly desired.…”
