Abstract:
      A two year field experiment was carried out to determine the mechanism of increasing the grain yield of maize by combining the slow\|release with the common urea by affecting the soil nitrogen content and delay\|ing the senescence of leaf and root. The experiment consisted of eight treatments including no nitrogen fertilizer application (CK), common urea applied at a depth of 5~10 cm soil layer (PU1), common urea applied at a depth of 5~10 cm soil layer, 60% seed fertilizer + 40% topdressing (PU2); 20% common urea at a depth of 5~10 cm soil layer, 30% common urea at 15~20 cm soil depth, 50% common urea at 25~30 cm soil depth (PU3); 20% total nitrogen application rate at 5~10 cm soil depth, 30% total nitrogen application rate at 15~20 cm soil depth, and 50% total nitrogen application rate at 25~30 cm soil depth (PCU1-PCU4). The N fertilizer at 5~10 cm was common urea but at 15~20 cm and 25~30 cm, it was a combination of PCU and PU at ratios of 3∶7 and 3∶7 in PCU1; PCU2 was as PCU1 but the ratio of PCU and PU was 5∶5 at 15~20 cm and 5∶5 at 25~30 cm; in PCU3, the ratio of PCU and PU was 3∶7 at 15~20 cm and 5∶5 at 25~30 cm; in PCU4, the ratio of PCU and PU was 5∶5 at 15~20 cm and 3∶7 at 25~30 cm. The results suggested that compared with the PU1, PU2, and PU3, the slow\|release combined with common urea increased the soil NO-3-N and NH+4-N contents by 4.21%~133.44% and 17.09%~72.95%, respectively, in the later maize growth stages (silking and filling stages). The SOD, POD, CAT activity, and soluble protein content of ear leaf increased by 9.22%~26.75%, 7.72%~23.35%, 7.66%~22.96%, and 11.67%~32.98%, respectively. The MDA decreased by 2.34%~37.53% of leaf. The SOD, POD, CAT, and soluble protein contents of root increased by 7.93%~22.75%, 19.09%~42.13%, 9.71%~60.98%, 12.42%~103.57%, and MDA decreased by 3.01%~31.6% of root. Compared with PU1, PU2, and PU3, the maize yield increased by 2.32%~26.16% and 1.32%~22.36% in slow\|release combined with common urea treatment, and the economic profit increased by 1.67%~31.84% and 0.33%~27.49%, and PCU4 had the highest yield of 13 899 kg·hm-2 and 12 439 kg·hm-2, respectively, in 2017 and 2018, and the profit were 17 022.25 yuan·hm-2 and 14 832.65 yuan·hm-2. The results suggested that the PCU4 treatment was the most effective treatment for maize.
