摘要: BACKGROUNDNitrogen (N) application significantly increases maize yield; however, the unreasonable use of N fertilizer is common in China. The analysis of crop yield gaps can reveal the limiting factors for yield improvement, but there is a lack of practical strategies for narrowing yield gaps of household farms. The objectives of this study were to assess the yield gap of summer maize using an integrative method and to develop strategies for narrowing the maize yield gap through precise N fertilization. RESULTSThe results indicated that there was a significant difference in maize yield among fields, with a low level of variation. Additionally, significant differences in N application rate were observed among fields, with high variability. Based on long-term simulation results, the optimal N application rate was 193 kg ha(-1), with a corresponding maximum attainable yield (AY(max)) of 10 318 kg ha(-1). A considerable difference between farmers' yields and AY(max) was observed. Low agronomic efficiency of applied N fertilizer (AE(N)) in farmers' fields was exhibited. CONCLUSIONThe integrative method lays a foundation for exploring the specific factors constraining crop yield gaps at the field scale and for developing strategies for rapid site-specific N management. Optimization strategies to narrow the maize yield gap include increasing N application rates and adjusting the N application schedule. (c) 2016 Society of Chemical Industry
