Abstract

Field and demonstration experiments were combined to study effects of coated urea on yield,quality and economic returns of tomato. 20% of coated urea was mixed with seedling substrate and the other 80% was banded preplant application( the N application rate of coated urea was 50% of conventional N rate). The results showed that the seedling strength index of coated urea with contact application was 47. 9% higher than that of the conventional seedling. Compared to the urea with basal application and 3 topdressings,the tomato yield with coated urea increased by 9. 7% and 5. 1%,respectively,and the nitrogen use efficiency( NUE) increased by 9. 0-10. 2 percentage point. Tomato quality with coated urea was improved compared to the urea,in which the soluble sugar content increased by 6. 5%- 9. 4% and Vitamin C content increased by 10%- 11. 3%. Economic returns of tomato with the coated urea increased by 33. 8% compared to the conventional N application,though N input of the former was reduced by RMB 44 yuan per hectare. Nitrate dynamics of surface soil layer( 0-20 cm) with the coated urea cut a peak to fill valley in comparison to regular urea,consequently the risk of nitrate leaching was dramatically reduced.
