Abstract: Nutrient use efficiency is an important index not only for fertilizer recommendation on the field scale but also for forecasting fertilizer demand on the regional and national scales, however, exact nutrient use efficiencies of rapeseed in the Yangtze River Basin have not been well known yet. In this paper, data from 74 field experiments were collected and used for analysis and evaluation of partial factor productivity (PFP), agronomic efficiency (AE), apparent recovery efficiency (RE), physiological efficiency (PE), and fertilizer contribution index of rapseed. The results indicated that AE averaged 6.2 kg kg–1 N, 6.3 kg kg–1 P2O5, and 2.6 kg kg–1 K2O, respectively. RE averaged N 34.0%, P2O5 17.4%, and K2O 36.9%, respectively. The averages of PE were 18.5 kg kg–1 N, 35.5 kg kg–1 P2O5, and 9.1 kg kg–1 K2O. The contribution of N, P and K fertilizer to rapeseed yield was 41.9%, 21.4%, and 11.5%, respectively. It was concluded that nutrient use efficiencies of rapeseed in the Yangtze River Basin were low. Thus, rapeseed yield and nutrient use efficiencies should be improved simultaneously to ensure sustainability for rapeseed production.
