Abstract:This study investigates the optimal substitution levels of organic nitrogen for chemical nitrogen of rice cultivation under mulched drip irrigation,aiming to support high-yielding and high-quality rice cultivation technology in the Hexi Oasis irrigation region.Field trials were conducted in 2022 at the Zhangye Water-Saving Agriculture Experimental Station,Ganzhou District,Zhangye City.The treatments included no-fertilizer control(CK),chemical fertilizer only(0%ON),and organic nitrogen substituting 25%(25%ON),50%(50%ON),75%(75%ON),and 100%(100%ON)of chemical nitrogen.The impact of these treatments on rice yield,grain quality,and nitrogen use efficiency(NUE)was assessed.The results showed that at a nitrogen application rate of 225 kg/hm2,integrating organic nitrogen significantly enhanced both yield and NUE,with a particularly notable improvement in grain quality.The treatment with organic fertilizers increased seedling survival rates by 6.36%to 17.76%compared to chemical fertilizer alone,and yields by 17.30%to 34.21%compared to the unfertilized control.Compared with the single application of chemical fertilizer,the yield of 25%ON and 50%ON treatments was only reduced by 1.45%and 5.74%,and there was no significant difference in nitrogen use efficiency between 25%ON and 25%ON.Organic nitrogen treatments significantly reduced protein content in rice by 0.74%to 5.93%and amylose content by 1.14%to 5.14%,while head rice rate and taste value increased by 1.92%to 4.22%and 0.61%to 1.83%.Furthermore,the rate of chalky grains and degree of chalkiness were significantly reduced in the 25%ON and 50%ON treatments by 5.26%,13.16%,11.76%and 17.65%,respectively.Considering the comprehensive results of yield,NUE,and grain taste,the substitution ratio of 25%to 50%organic nitrogen is identified as the optimal range for achieving high yield and improving quality in rice cultivation in the Hexi Oasis irrigation region.
