Abstract:
      The critical nitrogen concentration can be used to diagnose the crop nitrogen status. At present most domestic researchers only establish the curvefor a single variety. However, establishing a universal curve based on multiple varieties can significantly improve the application of the model. Six popular varieties of winter wheat and four nitrogen levels N0(0)、N1(105 kg·hm-2)、N2(210 kg·hm-2)and N3(315 kg·hm-2)were applied in this study. The critical nitrogen dilution curveand the accumulated nitrogen deficit model were constructed based on the aboveground dry matter from re-growth to heading stages, and the results were compared with published Nc curves. The relation ship between maximum above ground dry matter and critical N concentration of winter wheat could be described in the form of negative power function. The nitrogen nutrition index and accumulated N deficit model were further derived from the critical nitrogen dilution curve, which can be used to evaluate the nitrogen nutrition status and quantify the N deficit of winter wheat, respectively. Results show that the nitrogen nutrition index increases with the N application rate. N0 and N1 nitrogen application rates showed nitrogen nutrition deficiencies, but nitrogen nutrition surplus was revealed in the N2 and N3 treatments. When nitrogen application rate was 0~315 kg·hm-2, the accumulated N deficit (Nand) ranged from -33.2 kg·hm-2 to 50.9 kg·hm-2, and increased as winter wheat grew. Through the linear fitting between NNI and N application rates, a suitable N rate of about 162 kg·hm-2 was obtained for winter wheat in Guanzhong Plain.
