Nitrogen is one of the most essential elements for crop growth. Nitrogen fertilizer has been widely applied to increase crop yields. At the same time, a large number of negative impacts have posed a great threat to the ecological environment in recent years. Among them, nitrogen leaching can be attributed to the excessive application of chemical fertilizers in farmland. Fortunately, the combined application of organic and chemical fertilizers can be expected to effectively reduce soil nitrogen leaching in normal fertilization during agricultural production at present. Therefore, this study aims to explore the combination application mode of organic and chemical fertilizers with a low risk of nitrogen leaching in farmland. The search terms were selected as chemical fertilizer, organic fertilizer, and nitrogen leaching using the two databases of China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Web of Science. The peer-reviewed and published papers were then obtained up to January 2022. Finally, a total of 35 papers (22 papers from Web of Science, 13 papers from CNKI) and 331 effective data pairs were collected after screening for the combination application of organic and chemical fertilizers in farmland. The target variables were taken as the total nitrogen (TN), nitrate nitrogen (NO3 - -N), and dissolved organic nitrogen (DON), while the chemical fertilizer was the control. After that, Metawin 2.1 software was used to determine the overall effects of the total amount of fertilization, fertilization structure (organic fertilizer substitution ratio), fertilization time (basic topdressing), and the types of organic fertilizers on the nitrogen leaching, where the chemical fertilizer was as the control. The results showed that there was a significant influence of the above fertilization behavior on nitrogen leaching. Once the total amount of nitrogen was less than 200 kg/hm2, the leaching of TN and NO3 - -N in farmland decreased by 36.77% and 65.05%, respectively. When the substitution ratio of organic fertilizers was higher than 70%, the TN leaching was reduced by 39.64%, whereas the risk of dissolved DON leaching increased by 15.78%. Especially, there was a 26.31% increase in DON leaching in the application of animal-based organic fertilizers combined with chemical fertilizers. Correspondingly, the application of nitrogen fertilizer significantly reduced the leaching of TN and NO3 - -N by 43.58% and 70.51%(P<0.05), respectively. A certain impact was also found in the soil pH and land use patterns on nitrogen leaching. For example, the combined application of organic and chemical fertilizers on the alkaline dryland soil effectively inhibited the leaching of TN and NO3 - -N, whereas, there was an increase in the leaching of DON by 26.63%-42.95%. Nitrogen leaching in dryland was dominated by the NO3 - -N leaching. By contrast, the emission factor (EF) was higher than that in the paddy field. The increasing replacement ratio of organic fertilizers can be expected to greatly reduce the soil nitrogen leaching in dryland, but to enhance the DON leaching. In addition, the Matlab software was used to analyze the importance of factors using the random forest model. Specifically, the replacement ratio of organic fertilizer demonstrated a dominant effect on TN leaching. There was also the more important effect of the nitrogen application level on the NO3 - -N and DON leaching. Therefore, the low level of nitrogen application and the high substitution ratio of animal-based organic fertilizers can be used to effectively reduce the soil nitrogen leaching loss in the alkaline dryland, compared with the chemical fertilizers only. The finding can provide the practical basis for the combined application of organic and chemical fertilizers in farmland. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

【Objective】The present paper aimed to explore the feasibility of reducing the amount of nitrogen fertilizer and a reasonable nitrogen reduction model under late sowing wheat in the Jianghan Plain. 【Method】 Field experiments were conducted with Zhengmai 9023 under traditional and late sowing date with three nitrogen treatments differing in ratios of basal to topdressing. The changes in wheat yield and its constituent factors and nitrogen related indicators were compared across treatments. 【Result】（i） Under the same nitrogen application rate and base-topdressing ratio, grain yield, panicle number and 1000-grain weight were significantly reduced delayed the sowing date. Reduced total dry matter accumulation during flowering and maturity under late sowing was due to the decrease in dry matter accumulation in leaves and stem sheaths; The dry matter accumulation in spike did not show significant change. The changes in dry matter accumulation at maturity were related to leaves, stem+sheaths and grain husk+spike axis. Under the same nitrogen application rate and base-topdressing ratio, the nitrogen accumulation in wheat at flowering and maturity decreased as well; Nitrogen accumulation in flowering leaves of increased under late sowing, but nitrogen accumulation in stem+leaf sheath, ripe leaves and ripe grain husk+spike axis decreased. Under the same nitrogen application rate and base-topdressing ratio, the spike formation rate and nitrogen use efficiency were significantly reduced under late sowing.（ii）Under different nitrogen fertilization treatments and the same sowing date, nitrogen fertilization can be reduced from 180 to 150 kg/hm² under late sowing with insignificant change in yield decreased by 3.33 kg/hm²（M1） and 293.34 kg/hm²（M2） in 2019—2020; 158.67 kg/hm²（M1） and 13.50 kg/hm²（M2） in 2020—2021. The reduction was much lower than that of normal sowing, and the reason was that the number of spikes and grain number per spike were stable when the nitrogen application rate was reduced from 180 to 150 kg/hm², and the 1000-grain weight increased to some extent. Further reducing the amount of nitrogen applied, the yield change under the two sowing dates did not reach a significant level. Under the same base-topdressing ratio, reducing nitrogen application rate, the nitrogen accumulation in the stem+leaf sheath and spike at the flowering stage and grain husk+spike axis were significantly reduced, but dry matter accumulation did not change significantly. Under the same sowing date and base-topdressing ratio, reducing nitrogen application rate, spike formation rate increased significantly, M1 nitrogen utilization efficiency increased significantly, and M2 nitrogen utilization efficiency remained stable. 【Conclusion】Under the conditions of continuous optimization of nitrogen fertilizer management mode, the yield of late sowing wheat under nitrogen reduction treatment was not significantly reduced compared with normal nitrogen yield, but the spike formation rate and nitrogen use efficiency were significantly improved. After a delay of 20 days, the recommended nitrogen fertilizer management model is that the ratio of base to topdressing is m（base fertilizer）∶ m（top dressing before winter）∶ m（top dressing at jointing stage）=1∶1∶1, and the nitrogen application rate can be reduced from the normal nitrogen application rate to 150 kg/hm².

[Objective] In order to explore the effects of low nitrogen stress on the growth and soil nutrients of tartary buckwheat in the hilly and gully regions of the Loess Plateau, the present paper determined plants and soil characteristics of tartary buckwheat with different nitrogen stress among the whole growth period It could provide a scientific basis for the optimal management of farmland nitrogen fertilizer in the loess hilly and gully region. [Method] The study took different nitrogen buckwheat (Heifeng No. 1, HF, intolerant to low nitrogen, Diqing Tartary Buckwheat, D Q, tolerant to low nitrogen) as the research objects, and set 3 levels of nitrogen application as follows : 0 kg/hm² (NO, no nitrogen treatment), 80 kg/hm² (Nl, low-nitrogen treatment), 160 kg/hm² (N², normal nitrogen treatment). Plant indexes (plant height, stem thickness, leaf area) and soil characteristics (soil water content, pH, organic matter, alkali-hydrolyzed nitrogen, available phosphorus, available potassium, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, total potassium) were determined during the whole growth periods. [Result] (i) Cultivar, nitrogen treatment and the interaction between the two had extremely significant effects on tartary buckwheat plants (P < 0. 01). Under Nl treatment, the plant height, stem thickness and leaf area of DQ in the seedling stage were 9. 7 %, 10. 5 %, and 17. 7 % higher than that of HF. The plant height and stem thickness of DQ in the flowering stage were 9. 5 % and 7. 4 % higher than that of HF. The stem thickness and leaf area of DQ were 5. 4 % and 3 6. 2 % higher than those of HF. (ii) The cultivars, nitrogen treatments and the interaction between the two had a significant impact on soil nutrients (P < 0. 01). After the growth period, the soil nutrient indexes of the two cultivars were lower than those of the sowing period, but soil organic matter, available nitrogen, available phosphorus, available potassium, total nitrogen, and total potassium of DQ were higher than those of HF under Nl treatment of98. 8%, 11. 6%, 44. 7%, 11. 6%, 80. 41%, 4. 2%, respectively. [Conclusion] The DQ (low nitrogen tolerant) has better water conservation and green manure benefits than HF (intolerant to low nitrogen) as its larger leaf area and stem thickness could buffer the direct erosion of rainfall on the ground and resist wind to prevent plant lodging. In addition, the rhizosphere soil nutrient content of DQ was higher than HF after being harvested which could reduce the fertilizer consumption in the next season and was also more conducive to the sustainable development of agriculture.

The present paper aimed to reveal the effects of biochar addition on spring wheat yield and nitrogen use efficiency. 【Method】Taking the representative spring wheat field in Ningxia Irrigation Area as the research object, and using Ningchun 55 spring wheat as the test material, a random block test design was adopted, with no nitrogen fertilizer（N0）, single nitrogen fertilizer（N）, straw + nitrogen fertilizer（NS） and biochar + nitrogen fertilizer（NB） treatments. The aim was to clarify the effects of different fertilization types on soil properties, wheat yield and nitrogen use efficiency in spring wheat fields.【Result】Both NB and NS could increase the content of organic carbon and total nitrogen in surface soil to different extents. Among them, NB treatment had the best effect. Compared with N0, NB could significantly increase the total phosphorus content in soil and the pH of 20-40 cm soil value, soil available potassium content, and reduce soil electrical conductivity content. N, NB and NS could significantly increase spring wheat yield by 15.8 %-35.2 % compared with N0 treatment, of which NB treatment had the most significant effect; NB could increase crop nitrogen use efficiency by 122.8 % and 92.9 % compared with N and NS.【Conclusion】In Ningxia Yellow River Irrigation Area, biochar combined with nitrogen fertilizer can effectively increase soil nutrient content and soil enzyme activity, thereby significantly improve spring wheat grain yield and nitrogen use efficiency.

Huang-Huai-Hai region is the major superiority area of planting industry and breeding industry in China. With the increasing attention to the rural environment problems caused by crop straw and livestock manures, it is important to analyze “raising by planting” in Huang-Huai-Hai region, realize agricultural waste comprehensive utilization, and implement green development. “Raising by planting” was the core idea of this paper. The “raising by planting” calculation methods were as follow. First, technical regulations for production of wheat-corn and field research results in Hebei, Henan and Shandong provinces were used to summarize production model of wheat-corn in Huang-Huai-Hai region. So the conventional fertilization could be defined. According to test results of researches, this paper determined the amount of partial replacement of chemical fertilizer by organic manures. At the same time, thermophilic aerobic composting was chosen as techniques of livestock manure comprehensive utilization. The untreated amount of livestock manures was calculated. Then, the quantities of different species of livestock and poultry were calculated. According to the technical regulations, the amount of nitrogenous fertilizer were 532.5, 562.5 and 575 kg/hm2 in Hebei, Henan and Shandong provinces. The ratio of partial replacement of chemical fertilizer by organic manures was 30%. So the amount of replacement were 159.75, 168.75 and 172.5 kg/hm2. At the same time, there were no influence on grain security after the replacement of chemical fertilizer by organic manures. Due to the additional application of organic manures promoted soil nitrogen leaching risk, the environmental risk assessment of nitrogen in arable farmland was used. Nitrogen input mainly consisted of nitrogenous fertilizer, organic manure converted from livestock manures, seed, straw returning, atmospheric dry and wet deposition and irrigation water. Nitrogen output mainly consisted of grain and straw. Grade of environment risk in farmland in Hebei, Henan and Shandong provinces were all medium risk. Nitrogen loss rate of thermophilic aerobic composting fromlivestock and poultry manures was 42.26%. Other calculation parameters of livestock and poultry production, such as feeding period, population structure, were defined by many research papers. So in production model of wheat-corn in Huang-Huai-Hai Region, 6 dairy cows, or 18 beef cattle, or 47 to 51 swine, 731 to 789 laying hens or 8062 to 8705 broilers per hectare were land carrying capacity. Besides, at the field scale, various factors, such as soil fertility and soil microbial, might affect the ratio of partial replacement of chemical fertilizer by organic manures. So more researches were needed in the amount of replacement. On account of medium environment risk in farmland, lowering the risks was necessary. Nitrogen input structure: 46.3% chemical fertilizer, 27.5% straw returning, 19.8% organic manure, 4.0% atmospheric dry and wet deposition, 2.0% irrigation water and 0.4% seed. So reducing straw returning was one of risk solutions. In simulation results, reducing corn stalk or wheat straw both lowered environment risk effectively. The results provide a reference for planting and raising combination in Huang-Huai-Hai region. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

[Objective] The present paper aimed to explore suitable water and fertilizer integration with reduced fertilization mode for flue-cured tobacco production on slope land in southern tobacco-growing areas [Method] Taking the local conventional water and fertilizer management as a comparison, the effects of water and fertilizer integration on dry matter accumulation, N and K absorption and distribution, fertilizer utilization rate and soil nutrient balance of Hue-cured tobacco on slope land were studied. [ Result] Results of two-year experiment showed that the dry matter accumulation, nitrogen and potassium absorption of flue-cured tobacco with water and fertilizer integrated management were still higher than those of control when fertifu.er was reduced, and fertilizer utilization ratio significantly increased, and the nutrient surplus and balance coefficient were reduced. T2 treatment with 20 % reduced fertilization increased the dry matter accumulation by 22. 28 % in maturing stage than that of conventional treatment, and promoted the absorption of nitrogen and potassium by 92. 64 % and 83. 23 % respectively in root extending stage. The apparent utilization rate, season recycling rate and economic utilization rate of nitrogen fertilizer of T2 treatment increased by 20. 98 %, 14. 6 % and 8. 6 % respectively compared with CK, even 15. 25 %, 16. 15 % and 17. 64 % higher than Tl treatment with the same amount fertilizer. Fertilizer productive efficiency of potassium increased by 35. 02 % on average, and the biggest difference of apparent utilization rate, season recycling rate and economic utilization rate between T2 and CK appeared in 2017, reaching 80. 62 %, 105. 6 % and 126. 03 % . From the soil nutrient balance, water and fertilizer- integration mode increased crop carrying capacity and reduced nutrient surplus. Compared with CK, T2 and T3 treatments reduced nitrogen surplus by 49. 3 and 54. 6 kg • hm -2, and the nutrient balance rate decreased 93. 85 and 103. 16 percentage points. The best performance on potassium balance was T2 treatment, it's potassium surplus decreased by 86. 69 kg·hm-2 compared with CK, and the balance rate fell 158. 75 percentage points. [ Conclusion] In conclusion, under the water and fertilizer integration mode, it can improve the fertilizer utilization rate and reduce the soil nutrient surplus by properly reducing the fertilizer consumption and increasing the topdressing ratio.

[ Objective] This paper aimed to further explore the mechanism of irrigation and nitrogen application on the accumulation dynamics and yield of winter wheat dry matter ( DMA) in southern Xinjiang. [ Method] The field experiments were conducted in the bottomless pit of Hongqipo farm in Abu area, setting three irrigation gradients (80 %ETc, 100 %ETc, 120 %ETc) and three nitrogen fertilizer gradients ( 0, 207,276 kg/hm² ), using the Richards mathematical model, the dynamic process of DMA under irrigation and nitrogen application levels and its impact on yield and its components were quantitatively analyzed. [Result] The maximum rate and average rate of DMA accumulation in the treatment of 100 % ETc and 207 kg/hm² were the largest, the time to reach the maximum rate was the earliest, the duration of the fast increase period was the longest, the yield reached 12.477 t/hm², and the local winter wheat water-nitrogen ratio model increased production by 35. 56 % . Excessive increase in irrigation and nitrogen application could inhibit it. Both yield and yield components were significantly positively correlated with the average rate and maximum rate of DMA accumulation and negatively correlated with the relative accumulated temperature (RGDD) of the fast-growing period. [Conclusion] Water and nitrogen fertilizers are the limits of winter wheat yield in tested area. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

[Objective] This paper studies the optimal rice nitrogen fertilizer management measures under the condition of returning the whole wheat straw to the field, in order to provide a theoretical basis for the utilization of straw returning to the field and the reduction of high-efficiency nitrogen application. [Method] The soil culture experiment was adopted, and the nitrogen application rate was set as constant nitrogen application (A1, 270 kg/hm²) and reduced nitrogen application (A2, 240 kg/hm²). Nitrogen management was used to set a high-ratio basal nitrogen fertilizer (B1, basal fertilizer: tiller Fertilizer: ear fertilizer = 5: 2: 3) and high-ratio tiller nitrogen fertilizer (B2, base fertilizer: tiller fertilizer: ear fertilizer = 2: 5: 3), with no nitrogen (CK, 0 kg/hm²) as the control, The characteristics of plant height, dry matter accumulation and distribution of different nitrogen levels and nitrogen management in key growth stages of rice were systematically compared. [Result] Under the condition of returning all wheat straw to the field, the plant height of rice in the late stage of the reduced nitrogen application was significantly lower than that of the constant nitrogen application, and the plant height increased under the two nitrogen application rates to increase the ratio of tiller nitrogen fertilizer (2∶5∶3). high. From booting stage to maturity stage, the dry matter quality of the aboveground rice in the treatment of reduced nitrogen application was lower than that of the treatment of constant nitrogen application. From the heading stage to the maturity stage, the rice leaf biomass and its proportion to the total biomass of the reduced nitrogen application were lower than that of the constant nitrogen application, and the proportion of the leaves under the high-ratio tiller nitrogen fertilizer treatment under the two nitrogen application rates was higher; The stalk biomass of the reduced nitrogen fertilization treatment was lower than that of the constant nitrogen fertilization, and the ratio of the tiller nitrogen fertilizer ratio was increased under the two nitrogen fertilization rates. The stalk biomass proportion of the stalk biomass was reduced; the reduced nitrogen fertilization treatment had a constant leaf sheath biomass and distribution Nitrogen application decreased, and the difference in leaf sheath biomass at heading stage reached a significant level; ear biomass and its proportion were higher than that of constant nitrogen application under reduced nitrogen application, and the ratio of tiller nitrogen fertilizer increased under reduced nitrogen application. The amount is reduced. [Conclusion] It can be seen from the above that under the condition of fully returning wheat straw to the field, high plant height and above-ground dry matter quality can be obtained in the middle and late stages of rice under constant nitrogen application, and the biomass and distribution ratio of leaves, stems and leaf sheaths are generally increased. Under constant nitrogen application, increasing the ratio of tiller nitrogen fertilizer is beneficial to the material production and accumulation of rice vegetative organs, while reduced nitrogen application is beneficial to the material accumulation and distribution of rice panicles.

【Objective】The present paper aimed to explore the characteristics of nitrogen uptake and utilization of Huanghua under different nitrogen regulation methods. It is of great significance for improving Huanghua’s nitrogen nutrient management. 【Method】The field test method was used to set two levels of conventional nitrogen application(180 kg/hm~2) and reduced nitrogen application(135 kg/hm~2) and different proportions of base, sputum and panicle fertilizers. The effects of nitrogen application rate and nitrogen application rate on plant nitrogen content, nitrogen distribution in plants, biomass, nitrogen uptake and nitrogen use efficiency were studied. 【Result】The order of nitrogen content rate in the whole growth period was as follows by tillering > jointing > heading > filling > maturity, which was consistent with the growth process. Compared with conventional nitrogen application, the yield of Huanghuazhan was the highest(7541.11 kg/hm~2) when the proportion of base, sputum and panicle was 4∶1∶3, which was 7.98 % to 15.88 % higher than other treatments. In addition, total biomass, nitrogen uptake amount, nitrogen agronomic efficiency, partial productivity, nitrogen uptake and utilization were significantly higher than other treatments. Under the conventional nitrogen application level, the nitrogen uses efficiency of different nitrogen treatments ranged from 31.63 % to 35.40 %, while the nitrogen uses efficiency of different nitrogen treatments under the reduced nitrogen application level ranged from 36.68 % to 48.33 %. 【Conclusion】Under the premise of appropriate reduction of the total amount of nitrogen fertilizer and ensuring the availability of suitable effective panicles, the ratio of base, sputum and panicle fertilizer is 4∶1∶3, which is beneficial to improve the dry matter accumulation and nitrogen uptake amount of Huanghuazhan in the middle and late growth stages, improve the nitrogen utilization rate and provid guarantee for high yield.

Warming climate has been a global concern. Methane is an important greenhouse gas. Double rice cropping system in Hunan province contributes a large proportion of the national rice production. In this study, we studied the effect of agricultural managements of rice on methane emissions from double cropping paddy fields in Hunan Province, China based on Meta-analysis method. Only studies designed as side-by-side paired field experiments were included in this study. Field management practices, treatments, and controls were described in detail in each study, and the location of the experiment was provided. If seasonal accumulative CH4 emission fluxes were not directly provided, these values were calculated by multiplying time and mean CH4 emissions by the measurement period. A total of 53 published peer-reviewed papers published before 2018were obtained by reference retrieval. From them, 840 groups of data were drawn. The management measures included crop rotation, symbiosis ecosystem, tillage, nitrogen fertilizer input, organic manure and residue retention. The control and treatment groups were fallow versus winter crops, paddy-rice system versus rice-duck and rice-fish systems, conventional versus no tillage, no fertilizer-N input versus fertilizer-N input, no manure input versus fertilizer-N and manure input, and fertilizer-N input versus residue retention. Natural log of response ratio was used as the effect size in the random effect meta-analysis. Results showed that CH4 emissions from both early and late rice accounted for 97.9% of annual CH4 emissions, and more CH4 emissions from late rice was observed than that for early rice. In the double rice cropping system, adding winter crops could significantly increase CH4 emissions from double rice season by 43.88% (P < 0.05) compared to winter fallow. Moreover, the increase in methane emissions from early rice was significantly higher than that from late rice. Symbiosis ecosystem of rice (i.e., with ducks or fishes) and adopting no-till significantly decreased CH4 emissions by 37.02% and 26.84% (P < 0.05), respectively. The decrease in the emission from early rice field was much higher than that from late rice field. As for yield-scaled emission, application of N fertilizer decreased yield-scaled CH4 emissions by 40.01% (P < 0.05) mainly due to the yields increased by 73.87% (P < 0.05). Additionally, organic fertilizer application and residue retention increased 68.11% and 71.80% (P < 0.05) of yield-scaled CH4 emissions without impacting the rice yield. The results suggested adopting symbiosis ecosystem rice production or no-till along with optimized N input is conducive to balancing rice yield and CH4 emissions from fields with double rice cropping system in Hunan province.
