Abstract:

This study investigated how nitrogen rates and irrigation regimes and their interactions affect grain yield and quality of rice, which would have great significance in conducting the cultivation for high yielding, good quality and high efficiency. Two rice cultivars, Liangyoupeijiu (indica) and Yangjing 4038 (japonica), were grown in the tanks filled with soil. Three irrigation regimes, conventional irrigation (CI), alternate irrigation with wetting and moderate drying (WMD) and alternate irrigation with wetting and severe drying (WSD), and three nitrogen (N) rates, 0N (0 kg ha-1), medium amount of N (MN, 240 kg ha-1), and high amount of N (HN, 360 kg ha-1), were used during the whole growing season. The results showed that, at either MN or HN rate, grain yield, head rice, appearant quality, and breakdown were significantly higher or better under the WMD regime than under the CI regime. At the MN rate, the WSD regime significantly decreased grain yield and quality as compared with the CI regime. At the HN rate, however, the grain yield was higher under the WSD regime than under the CI regime and grain quality showed no significant difference between the two irrigation regimes. The WMD regime significantly increased photosynthetic rate of the flag leaf, activity of adenosine triphosphate enzyme (ATPase) in grains and contents of indole-3-acetic acid, zeatin + zeatin riboside, and abscisic acid in roots during grain filling. All the data indicate that interactions between nitrogen rates and irrigation regimes mediate the grain yield and quality of rice. Stronger root activity, greater leaf photosynthetic rate and larger sink strength contribute to higher grain yield and better grain quality of rice under the MN rate and WMD regime.
