Quantifying economically and ecologically optimum nitrogen rates for rice production in south-eastern China

► Overuse of fertilizer N has become widespread in China. ► We quantified the optimum N rates for rice production in south-eastern China. ► The estimated optimum N rates ranged from 90 to 285 kg ha −1. ► Cutting one-third of the N use would be feasible in Jiangsu Province. China consumes 32% of the...

description ► Overuse of fertilizer N has become widespread in China. ► We quantified the optimum N rates for rice production in south-eastern China. ► The estimated optimum N rates ranged from 90 to 285 kg ha −1. ► Cutting one-third of the N use would be feasible in Jiangsu Province. China consumes 32% of the world's total synthetic fertilizer nitrogen (N). Overuse of fertilizer N has become widespread, resulting in severe environmental problems. Based on a set of statistical models, we quantified the optimum N rates for rice production in terms of economic and ecological benefits. Model fitting results suggested that the dependence of rice yield, N uptake and N loss on fertilizer N application rates can be well determined by a quadratic polynomial function, a logistic function and a power function, respectively. Using these functions, the economically optimum and ecologically optimum N rates in south-eastern China were estimated to be 180–285 kg ha −1 and 90–150 kg ha −1, respectively, depending on rice subspecies, varieties and cropping systems. A case study in Jiangsu Province, where single rice with conventional japonica varieties is dominated, suggested that current N rates (∼390 kg ha −1) could be cut by 26% and 61% when the economically and ecologically optimum N rates, respectively, are adopted, saving 189 × 10 3 and 442 × 10 3 metric tons per year, respectively. Cutting one-third of the N use would not reduce rice yield but is expected to mitigate negative environmental impact in this province.
