Abstract:

To explore suitable new fertilizers and the optimal application dosage in the Hangzhou-Jiahu-Hu region, three kinds of news fertilizers were used in present study. Taking the local conventional fertilizer application dosage in Pinghu as the control, the new types of fertilizer which suitable for the high quality and high yield rice production in the local were screened out by a field experiment, and further to explore the method with the purpose of nitrogen reduction and efficiency improvement for new fertilizer. The results showed that compared with the conventional fertilizer application in the local area, the application of Maoshi slow-release fertilizer significantly (P<0.05) increased rice dry weight and nitrogen use efficiency, and increased rice yield via increasing the seed numbers per spike and the seed setting rate. Furthermore, Maoshi slow-release fertilizer significantly increased soil organic matter content and alkali hydrolyzed nitrogen content, increased the activities of urease and ammonia monooxygenase along with abundance of relevant functional genes, and increased soil microbial biomass carbon and nitrogen content. Compared to the conventional nitrogen application amount, reduced 10% of nitrogen when applied Maoshi slow-release fertilizer significantly increased nitrogen use efficiency without compromising rice yield and rice quality. In summary, applying Moshi slow-release fertilizer with a 10% nitrogen reduction from conventional dosage achieves both nitrogen reduction and efficieny enhancement in rice cultivation.

Key words: Maoshi slow-release fertilizer, nitrogen reduction and efficiency enhancement, rice, nitrogen use efficiency, yield
