Abstract

Abstract Rice ( Oryza sativa L.) responds well to green manure‐N under flooded conditions, but more quantitative data are needed for comparisons to inorganic N. This study compared the effects of vetch ( Vicia benghalensis L.) and (NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 on patterns of N availability and plant uptake, applied‐N recovery at harvest, and grain yield in flooded rice culture. The sources were incorporated in a Clear Lake clay (Typic Pelloxerert) in factorial combination of 60 kg N/ha increments up to a maximum rate of 180 kg N/ha. Grain yields were determined in plots of 18.9 m 2 while N balance was assayed in microplots (0.27 m 2 ) treated with 15 N‐labeled materials. Ammonium sulfate was more effective in raising extractable‐N concentrations early in the growing season and made a greater contribution to plant N status throughout the season. There was no evidence that vetch extended the period of N availability to plants. Grain yields were highly dependent on N uptake; they maximized at 10.1 Mg/ha with 120 kg N/ha as (NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 but responded linearly to vetch up to 8.4 Mg/ha with the highest rate of addition. Ammonium sulfate effected greater labeled‐N recovery (19% across rates) and apparent N recovery (55.6%) by plants than vetch (10.1 and 27.9%, respectively). More vetch‐N was recovered in the soil at harvest; total recoveries were, therefore, not significantly different between N sources. The rate of green manure‐N mineralization early in the growing season appears to be the limiting factor in comparison to inorganic N.
