Abstract：In order to ascertain the effects of different application levels of nitrogen fertilizer on growth and water utilization of maize under Shajiang black soil ,a field experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of different dosage of nitrogen fertilizer on soil moisture ,maize agronomic characters ,production elements ,yield and water utilization .The results indicated that nitrogen fertilizer improved soil moisture content in the 0-100 cm deep soil ,especially the treatment with 360 kg/ha nitrogen .And when the dosage of nitrogen fertilizer was 360 kg/ha ,the maize leaf number ,plant height ,and stem diameter were significantly higher than other treatments at diffe-rent maize grow th period .With the increase of nitrogen fertilizer ,the biomass increased first and then decreased ,that of the treatment with 540 kg/ha nitrogen fertilizer was the largest ,which in-creased by 31 .9% compared with the CK ,while the biomass of the treatment with 90 kg/ha and 360 kg/ha nitrogen fertilizer was significantly lower than the CK .What’more ,maize yield and water use efficiency increased first and then reduced gradually with the increase of nitrogen fertil-izer .While the highest yield was founded in the treatment with 270 kg/ha nitrogen fertilizer ,and the highest water use efficiency occurred in the treatment with 360 kg/ha compared with the other treatments ,but which was no significant differences compared with the treatment with 270 kg/ha nitrogen fertilizer .It was concluded that the dosage of 270 kg nitrogen fertilizer per hectare is rec-ommendated according to the comprehensive factors .
