Abstract
Field experiment was conducted to investigate effects of reducing and postponing N application on soil N supply,plant N uptake and utilization of summer maize.The results show that N accumulation rate is increased under the reducing and postponing N application(N 168 kg/ha,1/5 basal,3/5 topdressing at stalk enlongation stage and 1/5 topdressing at silking stage,respectively) compared with farmers' practice(N 240 kg/ha,1/3 basal and 2/3 topdressing at booting stage,respectively),while N use efficiency,dry biomass accumulation,yield and N accumulation amount are not decreased.Moreover,the reducing and postponing N application can improve synchronization of soil N supply and crop demand during the maize growth stages,decrease NO-3-N accumulation of 0-100 cm soil profile,and reduce field apparent N loss at maturity.Therefore,the reducing and postponing N application based on summer maize N uptake at different growth stages is a feasible N management practice,and nitrogen fertilizer could be saved by 30% as compared with farmers' practice.
