Summary: This study found that topsoil removal significantly reduces nitrogen uptake and yield formation in rice, leading to reductions in grain yield and total dry biomass. During the growth process, rice mainly absorbs nitrogen from topsoil during the period from midtillering to panicle initiation.

Summary: The study evaluated the impact of nitrogen fertilizer application methods on two different transplanted rice varieties and found that deep placement of N-fertilizer (DPNF) significantly improved growth, yield-related traits, chlorophyll contents, photosynthesis rate, agronomic N-use efficiency (ANUE), partial factors productivity of applied N (PFP) and economic returns compared to conventional application of N-fertilizer (CANF). Basmati-515 exhibited better traits than Super-Basmati. Interactions between N-fertilizer application methods and rice varieties showed that Basmati-515 with DPNF resulted in higher chlorophyll contents, photosynthesis rate, ANUE, PFP, allometric and yield-related traits and economic returns than CANF. Both varieties had better yield and economic returns with DPNF compared to CANF.

Summary: The experiment investigated the effects of seven types of slow- and controlled-release fertilizers on rice yield and various population characteristics. Results showed that the nitrogen release characteristics of different fertilizers significantly varied, with polymer-coated urea (PCU) providing sustained and controlled release throughout all growth stages, and sulfur-coated urea (SCU) leading to a reduction in rice yield due to insufficient release at later stages.

Summary: This study evaluated the impact of controlled-release N fertilizers (CRNFs) on machine-transplanted rice cultivation. The results showed that mechanical deep placement fertilization (DPF), especially with the use of sulfur-coated urea (SCU), significantly improved nitrogen use efficiency (NUE), rice yield, and economic benefits. Bulk blending fertilizer (BBF) consistently exhibited superior NUE and economic benefits.

Summary: Efficient water and fertilizer use is crucial for optimizing rice growth and yield. This study investigated the effects of different water regimes and fertilizer rates on rice root, shoot, yield, and nitrogen use efficiency. Increasing nitrogen dosage improved root and biomass production, while the combination of wetting and soil saturation with low nitrogen application resulted in higher nitrogen use efficiency.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of different forms of nitrogen fertilizer on the reduction and dissolution of arsenic-bearing iron minerals and microbial-mediated arsenic transformation processes. The results show that nitrate nitrogen fertilizer reduces the bio-availability of arsenic in soil, while ammonium nitrogen fertilizer promotes the release of arsenic into porewater. However, the combined application of nitrate and ammonium nitrogen has no significant effect on arsenic concentration in rice grain and its transformation in paddy soils. These findings provide insights into the rational use of nitrogen fertilizers to reduce the risk of arsenic contamination in rice.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of different nitrogen fertilization rates on grain yield and nitrogen use efficiency in mechanical pot-seedling transplanting rice. The results showed that deep placement of nitrogen fertilizer significantly increased grain yield and nitrogen use efficiency. The increase in nitrogen use efficiency was attributed to the enhanced activity of nitrogen metabolism enzymes, as well as the improvements in chlorophyll content, leaf area index, and aboveground biomass.

Summary: Rice seedlings pretreated with melatonin showed increased salt tolerance and dry weight under salt stress by inhibiting Na+ accumulation, enhancing K+ retention, and improving Na+/K+ homeostasis. Melatonin also enhanced the ability of rice roots to selectively absorb K+ and exclude Na+, as well as increased sensitivity of Na+/K+ transporters to nitric oxide and hydrogen peroxide. This was attributed to an increase in ATP content and H+-pump activity in roots after melatonin pretreatment.

Summary: The study found that nitrogen fertilizer and high temperatures can impact the synthesis of grain storage proteins in rice, leading to increased chalkiness. Nitrogen fertilizer may regulate chalkiness formation by affecting prolamin synthesis, which in turn affects the quality of rice grains. Nitrogen application could have value in future rice production in response to climate warming.

Summary: This study found that rice glutelin is sensitive to temperature and nitrogen, and their interactions can affect glutelin accumulation during grain filling. Elevated temperature promotes the levels of pro-glutelin and application of nitrogen under warming increases the amount of α-glutelin. However, the increase in glutelin content worsens grain quality, particularly chalkiness and eating quality.
