Optimizing Nitrogen Application Boosts Super Rice Yield and Quality.
Nitrogen application in specific amounts and ratios can increase rice yield and quality. Applying 255 kg/ha of nitrogen with an 8:2 ratio of basic tiller to ear granular fertilizer can boost panicle production for high yield. Using 165 kg/ha of nitrogen with a 6:4 ratio can improve seed setting rate and grain weight for increased yield. Adjusting nitrogen and fertilizer rates can enhance chlorophyll content, dry matter accumulation, and yield components for stable and high yields. More nitrogen at later growth stages can raise protein content but lower amylose content and taste value in the rice.
