No-tillage Improves Winter Wheat (Triticum Aestivum L.) Grain Nitrogen Use Efficiency
COMMUNICATIONS IN SOIL SCIENCE AND PLANT ANALYSIS(2019)
摘要
Tillage practices are among the factors that affect soil quality as well as use efficiency of fertilizer nitrogen (N). Data consisting of 24-site-years from two long-term experiments 222 (E222) located in Stillwater and 502 (E502) located in Lahoma, Oklahoma were used in this study. Treatments included pre-plant N rates of 0, 45, 90, and 135 kg N ha(-1) at E222 and 0, 22.5, 45, 67, 90 and 112 kg N ha(-1) at E502. The objective was to evaluate the influence of no-tillage (NT) on grain N uptake and N use efficiency (NUE) of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) relative to conventional tillage (CT). Generally, results indicated significantly higher grain N uptake and NUE under NT relative to CT. However, single-degree-of-freedom contrast at individual N rate indicated inconsistency in grain N uptake and NUE between experimental locations. Under both tillage practices, grain N uptake increased with N rate while NUE decreased as N rate increased. Overall, NUE and grain N uptake was 23% and 7.5% higher under NT compared to CT, respectively. Therefore, winter wheat farmers in the United States Central Great Plains currently practicing CT could improve the efficiency of the surface-applied fertilizer N and farm profitability by adopting NT.
