Description
Summary:In this paper the effect of N fertilizer and N use efficiency under different levels of N application in high-fertility paddy field in Northern Zhejiang Province was studied. The results showed that rice yield and N content of leakage water and paddy soil were greatly influenced by the amount of N fertilizer. The yield showed no significant variation when the applied nitrogen were within the range of 150-225 kg·hm<sup>-2</sup>. N content of leakage water and soil increased quickly with the N application up to 225 kg·hm-<sup>2</sup>, it would lead to severe non-pointing source pollution of N. The result indicated that N use efficiency was so low that uptake of N by rice efficiency was only 21.55% in average. Agronomic and physiological efficiency of N were only 7 kg·kg<sup>-1</sup> and 20 kg·kg<sup>-1</sup>, which were far below the average level of the whole nation. Considering the N use efficiency and theory of marginal profit analysis, the 140-200 kg·hm<sup>-2</sup> could be a reasonable range of nitrogen application for the high-yielding paddy field in northern Zhejiang Province.
