An experiment was conducted at the Experimental field of Department of Agronomy, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, during June to December 2007 to evaluate the nitrogen use efficiency of transplant aman rice using prilled urea (PU) and urea super granule (USG). Three rice varieties (BR11, BRRI dhan30 and BRRI dhan39) were compared at three doses of nitrogen, i.e., PU@125 kg N ha-1, USG @170 kg N ha-1 and USG @ 70 kg N ha-1 in a Randomized Complete Block (RCB) design with three replications. USG each weighing 1 g and 2.6 g were placed manually at the depth of 8-10 cm in the middle of four hills in alternate rows at 12 days after transplanting and PU applied in split applications. The rice var. BR11 at USG @70 kg N ha-1 has produced the maximum grain yield (4.75 t ha-1) which was statistically identical to BRRI dhan30 at USG @ 70 kg N ha-1 (1 g pellet-1). The highest nitrogen use efficiency, partial factor productivity and marginal rate of return (1966%) were recorded from the treatment of BR11 at USG @ 70 kg N ha-1.Bangladesh Agron.

An experiment was conducted at the Bangladesh Rice Research Institute (BRRI) experimental farm, Gazipur and at farmer's field in Chuadanga during Rabi season 2001-02 (November - March) to Kharif-II season 2002 (June - November) to determine the effect of different doses of N fertilizer on growth and yield of wheat and transplant Aman rice and to compare the N use efficiency in bed planting and conventional method in rice-wheat cropping system. Bed planting with 0, 60, 80, 100 and 120 kg N ha-1 and conventional (flat) method with 0 and 100 kg N ha-1 were tested. The yields increase of wheat in bed planting with 80, 100 and 120 kg N ha-1 over 100 kg N ha-1 in conventional method were 10-21, 20-29 and 23-38%, respectively. For transplant Aman rice, bed planting with 80, 100 and 120 kg N ha-1 and conventional method with 100 kg N ha-1 produced statistically identical grain yield. Bed planting increased the grain number panicle-1 and reduced sterility of both wheat and transplant Aman rice. Nitrogen use efficiency such as partial factor productivity and agronomic efficiency were higher in bed planting than conventional method and it saved about 20% N without losing yield of wheat and transplant Aman rice. Key words: Nitrogen use efficiency, rice, wheat and bed planting. DOI: 10.3329/jard.v7i1.4420 J Agric Rural Dev 7(1&2), 41-49, June 2009

Nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) is a necessitate in order to enhance sustainable rice farming in Indonesia. Thus, objective of present research was to evaluate NUE of local and national Indonesian superior aromatic rice treated with different levels of nitrogen fertilizer (N). Planting plot was arranged using five levels of N as the main plot, i.e; 0, 45, 90, 135 and 180 kg ha-1; and two rice varieties as subplot, i.e: Sigupai Abdya (local) and Inpari 23 Bantul (national). The results showed application 180 kg N ha-1 to Sigupai  Abdya significantly increased the plant height. However, it also postponed the flowering time. Inpari 23 Bantul treated with 180 kg N ha-1 produced the highest number of tillers. Combination of 90 kg N ha-1 with Sigupai Abdya variety significantly reduced the number of empty grains. Sigupai Abdya variety has a higher number of grains per panicle and sampling plot yield than Inpari 23 Bantul, and  dosage 90 kg N ha-1 increases grain yield per clump also sampling plot yield significantly. Nitrogen at 180 kg N ha-1 made Sigupai Abdya variety has high N content and absorption N in primordia phase, and the Inpari 23 Bantul variety had grain with high N content. Nitrogen at 90 kg ha-1 caused Sigupai Abdya variety at primordia phase had NUE higher than Inpari 23 Bantul. This study showed that local variety Sigupai Abdya is suitable for development as rice with low input NKeywords: Aceh aromatic, low input, nitrogen dose, N uptake, Oryza sativa L.

An experiment was conducted to examine the effect of prilled urea (PU), and urea super granule (USG) alone or in combination with poultry manure or cowdung on NH4-N content of rice field with nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) and the yield of rice (cv. BRRI dhan50). The experiment was carried out at the Soil Science Field Laboratory of Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during Boro season of 2012 and laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. There were six treatments viz. T1 (Control), T2 (78 kg N ha-1 from USG), T3 (136 kg N ha-1 from PU), T4 (58 kg N ha-1 from USG), T5 (58 kg N ha-1M from USG + 3 t ha-1 poultry manure) and T6 (58 kg N ha-1 from USG + 5 t ha-1 cowdung). All plots received recommended doses of P, K, S and Zn fertilizers. The NH4-N in rice field water increased rapidly when N was applied as PU. In contrast, NH4-N release was very slow when applied as USG over the crop growth period. Application of PU, USG alone or in combination with poultry manure or cowdung significantly influenced grain and straw yield, all the yield components except 1000-grain weight of BRRI dhan50. Urea super granule with poultry manure (treatment T5) produced the highest grain and straw yield and the lowest values were recorded from control. Nitrogen content and uptake, apparent N recovery and NUE were also influenced significantly by the application of PU, and USG alone or in combination with organic manure. Among the treatments, T5 demonstrated the highest N recovery and NUE. The overall results suggest that application of USG in combination with poultry manure could be considered more effective for increasing the yield and NUE of BRRI dhan50.

AbstractOver-application of nitrogen fertilizer in fields has had a negative impact on both environment and human health. Domesticated rice varieties with high nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) reduce fertilizer for sustainable agriculture. Here, we perform genome-wide association analysis of a diverse rice population displaying extreme nitrogen-related phenotypes over three successive years in the field, and identify an elite haplotype of nitrate transporter OsNPF6.1HapB that enhances nitrate uptake and confers high NUE by increasing yield under low nitrogen supply. OsNPF6.1HapB differs in both the protein and promoter element with natural variations, which are differentially trans-activated by OsNAC42, a NUE-related transcription factor. The rare natural allele OsNPF6.1HapB, derived from variation in wild rice and selected for enhancing both NUE and yield, has been lost in 90.3% of rice varieties due to the increased application of fertilizer. Our discovery highlights this NAC42-NPF6.1 signaling cascade as a strategy for high NUE and yield breeding in rice.

SUMMARYDeficiencies of micro (Zn, B) and secondary (S) nutrients are well-documented in soil as well as in cereal crops, leading to decreased crop yields and low nutritional quality of food. We evaluated the effects of coated urea on maize yield, N and Zn uptake, and input cost relationships. Field experiments were conducted on maize to test boron-coated (BCU), sulphur-coated (SCU) and zinc-coated urea (ZnCU) during 2013 and 2014. On the basis of 2 years’ average data, the highest grain yield was achieved with 0.5% BCU, 5% SCU and 2.5% ZnCU as zinc sulphate hepta hydrate. These treatments increased yields by 5.4, 12.8 and 9.9% over prilled urea (PU), respectively. Application of 0.5% BCU (supplying 1.4 kg B ha−1), 5% SCU (supplying 14.1 kg S ha−1) and 2.5% ZnCU (supplying 7.05 kg Zn ha−1) registered the highest N concentrations and uptake in grain and stover. Total N uptake (grain + stover) was increased by 7.6, 16.7 and 17.1% with BCU, SCU and ZnCU treatments over PU. As compared to PU, Zn concentration in maize grain was significantly higher and total Zn uptake (grain + stover) increased by 32.4% with 2.5% ZnCU. Coated urea materials also enhanced the partial factor productivity (PFPN), agronomic efficiency (AEN), recovery efficiency (REN) and harvest index (HIN) over those of PU. From the economic viewpoint this study suggests that coating of urea with 0.3% boron, 5% sulphur or 2% zinc gives maximum net returns and benefit-cost ratio. Our data indicate that coating of B, Zn and S onto urea increases maize yield, profitability and nitrogen use efficiency in the western Indo-Gangetic plains of India.

Identification of high Nitrogen Use Efficiency (NUE) phenotypes has been a long-standing challenge in breeding rice and sustainable agriculture to reduce the costs of nitrogen (N) fertilizers. There are two main challenges: (1) high NUE genetic sources are biologically scarce and (2) on the technical side, few easy, non-destructive, and reliable methodologies are available to evaluate plant N variations through the entire growth duration (GD). To overcome the challenges, we captured a unique higher NUE phenotype in rice as a dynamic time-series N variation curve through the entire GD analysis by canopy reflectance data collected by Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Remote Sensing Platform (UAV-RSP) for the first time. LY9348 was a high NUE rice variety with high Nitrogen Uptake Efficiency (NUpE) and high Nitrogen Utilization Efficiency (NUtE) shown in nitrogen dosage field analysis. Its canopy nitrogen content (CNC) was analyzed by the high-throughput UAV-RSP to screen two mixed categories (51 versus 42 varieties) selected from representative higher NUE indica rice collections. Five Vegetation Indices (VIs) were compared, and the Normalized Difference Red Edge Index (NDRE) showed the highest correlation with CNC (r = 0.80). Six key developmental stages of rice varieties were compared from transplantation to maturation, and the high NUE phenotype of LY9348 was shown as a dynamic N accumulation curve, where it was moderately high during the vegetative developmental stages but considerably higher in the reproductive developmental stages with a slower reduction rate. CNC curves of different rice varieties were analyzed to construct two non-linear regression models between N% or N% × leaf area index (LAI) with NDRE separately. Both models could determine the specific phenotype with the coefficient of determination (R2) above 0.61 (Model I) and 0.86 (Model II). Parameters influencing the correlation accuracy between NDRE and N% were found to be better by removing the tillering stage data, separating the short and long GD varieties for the analysis and adding canopy structures, such as LAI, into consideration. The high NUE phenotype of LY9348 could be traced and reidentified across different years, locations, and genetic germplasm groups. Therefore, an effective and reliable high-throughput method was proposed for assisting the selection of the high NUE breeding phenotype.
