In this study, we collected data from 1 844 site-years of rice（Oryza sativa L.） under various rotation cropping systems across the Yangtze River Valley. Selected treatments included without（N0 treatment） and with N application（N treatment） which were recommended by local technicians, with a wide grain range of 1.5–11.9 t ha–1. Across the 1 844 site-years, over 96% of the sites showed yield increase（relative yield〉105%） with N fertilization, and the increase rates decreased from 78.9 to 16.2% within the lowest range 〈4.0 to the highest 〉6.5 t ha–1. To produce one ton of grain, the rice absorbed approximately 17.8 kg N in the N0 treatment and 20.4 kg N in the N treatment. The value of partial factor productivity by N（PFP N） reached a range of 35.2–51.4 kg grain kg–1 with N application under the current recommended N rate. Averaged recovery rate of N（RE N） was above 36.0% in yields below 6.0 t ha–1 and lower than 31.7% in those above 6.0 t ha–1. Soil properties only affected yield increments within low rice yield levels（〈5.5 t ha–1）. There is a poor relationship between N application rates and indigenous nitrogen supply（INS）. From these observations and considering the local INS, we concluded there was a great potential for improvement in regional grain yield and N efficiency.展开更多
