Abstract:
【Objective】 To study the effects of nitrogen and water collaborative supply on accumulation and distribution of dry matter and nitrogen, nitrogen transport and use efficiency of maize hybrid Zhuyu 216.
【Methods】 Split plots experiments on two factors of nitrogen and irrigation were designed, and there were three irrigation levels: W
0 (0 m
3/hm
2), W
1 (750 m
3/hm
2) and W
2 (1,500 m
3/hm
2) and three nitrogen application levels: N
0 (0 kg/hm
2), N
1(150 kg/hm
2) and N
2(300 kg/hm
2).
【Results】 The results showed that the accumulation of aboveground dry matter and nitrogen at maturity stage, and nitrogen absorption efficiency were the highest under nitrogen and water collaborative supply of W
2 water (1,500 m
3/hm
2) and N
1 nitrogen (150 kg/hm
2), the collaborative supply of N
1 nitrogen (150 kg/hm
2) and W
1 water (750 m
3/hm
2) was conducive to the accumulation of dry matter and nitrogen migration into grains, which increased the nitrogen transport amount in vegetative organs, enhanced the distribution proportion in grains, and raised nitrogen use efficiency, nitrogen transport efficiency, nitrogen transport contribution rate, nitrogen agronomic efficiency and nitrogen partial productivity.
【Conclusion】 Comprehensively considering the grain yield and fertilizer and water saving factors, the combination of irrigation amount 750 m
3/hm
2 and nitrogen amount 150 kg/hm
2 was the optimal one for maize hybrid Zhuyu 216 based on the experiment results.
