Optimization of the Nitrogen Fertilizer Management for a Winter Wheat-Summer Maize Rotation System in the North China Plain-from Field to Regional Scale
Excessive nitrogen fertilization is a common problem in a winter wheat-summer maize rotation system in the North China Plain, which cause not only the decrease of nitrogen use efficiency but also the increasing of the risk of environmental pollution. Therefore, optimizing N fertilization in field scale and as well as in regional scale is urgent. A two years survey with 561 farmers, 13 field experiments with 6-10 N levels and four replicates, and 57 field experiments with three treatments without replicates ...
