摘要: A field experiment and farm survey were conducted to test nitrogen (N) inputs, N-15-labelled fertilizer balance and mineral N dynamics of a rice-wheat rotation in southwest China. Total N input in one rice-wheat cycle averaged about 448 kg N ha(-1), of which inorganic fertilizer accounted for 63% of the total. The effects of good N management strategies on N cycling were clear: an optimized N treatment with a 27% reduction in total N fertilizer input over the rotation decreased apparent N loss by 52% and increased production (sum of grain yield of rice and wheat) compared with farmers' traditional practice. In the N-15-labelled fertilizer experiment, an optimized N treatment led to significantly lower N-15 losses than farmers' traditional practice; N loss mainly occurred in the rice growing season, which accounted for 82% and 67% of the total loss from the rotation in farmers' fields and the optimized N treatment, respectively. After the wheat harvest, accumulated soil mineral N ranged from 42 to 115 kg ha(-1) in farmers' fields, of which the extractable soil NO3--N accounted for 63%. However, flooding soil for rice production significantly reduced accumulated mineral N after the wheat harvest: in the N-15 experiment, farmers' practice led to considerable accumulation of mineral N after the wheat harvest (125 kg ha(-1)), of which 69% was subsequently lost after 13 days of flooding. Results from this study indicate the importance of N management in the wheat-growing season, which affects N dynamics and N losses significantly in the following rice season. Integrated N management should be adopted for rice-wheat rotations in order to achieve a better N recovery efficiency and lower N loss.
