Abstract:
      Based on N application rates and soil tillage modes experiment,yield of spring maize and NO3- -N ac-cumulation in soil profile were studied in the northwest of Hebei Province. The results showed that compared with conven-tional tillage,no-tillage mode had no significant effect on yield of spring maize,through analyzing function curve of N rate and yield of spring maize under no-tillage 1,no-tillage 2 and conventional tillage modes, and the proper rate of N of spring maize was 192~209 kg/hm2,192~212 kg/hm2 and 196~216 kg/hm2 respectively. With the increase of N rate,NO3- -N accumulation in 0~90 cm and 90~80 soil layers were also significantly increased by three treatments. NO3- -N accumulation in 0~90 cm soil layer under no-tillage mode was higher than that under conventional tillage in whole sampling period, and this trend increased with increase of N application rate. After maize was harvested, NO3- -N accumulation in 0~90 cm soil layer under no tllale mode was significantly higher than that under conventional tillage mode, while NO3- -N accumulation in 90~180 cm soil layer under conventional tllage mode was significantly higher than that under no tllge mode,this indicated that more N mutrient accumulated in 0~90 cm soil layer under no tillage mode and less leached into groundwater for environment pollution.
