The objectives of this study were to investigate the nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) balance fertilization strategy in paddy fields, and to evaluate the effects on N uptake and utilization in rice. In 2017-2018, the experiment was conducted using Deyou4727 hybrid rice with four different P fertilizer levels (0, 30, 60, and 90 kg/ha), marked as P0, P1, P2, P3 in turn, and four different N levels (0, 90, 150, and 270 kg/ha), similarly marked as N0, N1, N2, N3 in turn. The results showed that in the N-insufficient (N0, N1) environments, the P1 treatment increased N uptake and promoted transfer to the grain. However, high-P (P3) application increased the dry matter accumulation than other P levels, but limited the production and translocation of dry matter to some extent. In N-sufficient (N2, N3) environments, P2 level increased crop yield and N use efficiency by 11.35% and 37.01%. Unlike P2, none-P (P0) and high-P levels decreased rice dry matter translocation and transport capacity, which further affected N uptake and utilization in N-sufficient environments. Overall, the combination of the N application rate of 90 kg/ha and P application rate of 30 kg/ha, N application rate of 150, 270 kg/ha, and P application rate of 60 kg/ha had a high yield; strong nutrient accumulation and transfer ability. It was more inclined to balance N and P, which was beneficial to plant N absorption and utilization.

Keywords: nitrogen and phosphorus ratio; nitrogen translocation; nitrogen uptake; nitrogen use efficiency
