Abstract
An increased planting density and decreased nitrogen (N) rate combination may obtain a stable yield and enhance N utilization. However, the effects of an increased planting density and decreased N rate combination on the yield and nutrient utilization in different ecological regions are unclear. The aim of this research was to assess the interactive impacts of the N rates and planting densities on double cropping rice yields and nutrient utilization in two ecological regions in field experiments during 2018 and 2019. The results showed that, at Shanggao, increased planting densities of 67% and 200% compensated for the biomass, nutrient uptake and yield losses from N application reductions of 20% and 27% and increased the nutrient utilization of the early and late seasons. However, at Xingguo, compared with the N2D1 treatment (165 kg ha−1 with 57 plants per m2), the late rice yield under the N1D2 treatment (120 kg ha−1 with 114 plants per m2) decreased by 6.71% and 5.02% in 2018 and 2019, respectively. The photosynthetic rate and nutrient uptake were likely related to the positive interaction on the double cropping rice yield in the two ecological regions. Our results indicate that dense planting is a feasible cultivation strategy to decrease N inputs for double cropping rice, but the low soil nutrient supplies negatively affect stable yields in different ecological regions.
