In field experiments as per double-cropping system, 4 main plots (fertilization levels) and 6 subplots (planting densities) were set in a split plot design. The results suggested that yield had close relationship with fertilization levels and planting densities. Different fertilization levels and planting densities significantly affected yield. With the increase of nitrogen fertilization, nitrogen use efficiency, nitrogen agronomic efficiency and nitrogen physiological efficiency declined. Under the same fertilization level, nitrogen use efficiency, nitrogen agronomic efficiency and nitrogen physiological efficiency grew a little with the increase of planting density, so nitrogen efficiency could be improved by regulating planting density. The results also showed that A2 (including N 225.0 kg/hm2, P205 75.0 kg/hm^2, K20 187.5 kg/hm^2) matching to B3 (52 500 plants/hm^2) or B4(60 000 plants/hm^2) was a better design, which could obtain a higher yield in the range of 7 913.2-8 207.8 kg/hm2, respectively.展开更多
