[Objective] The research aims to reveal the effects of controlled-release urea(CRU) application in successive years on double-cropping rice yield, nitrogen use efficiency (NUE), and ammonia (NH 3 ) volatilization loss, and to lay a theoretical basis and develop a new method for reducing nitrogen losses in paddy field while stabilizing grain yield. [Method] There were six treatments including zero-N (CK), urea (U) and four CRU levels (CRU1, CRU 2, CRU 3, CRU 4, 0, 10%, 20% and 30% nitrogen reduction of CRU) in cultivars Zhongzao 39 for early ric...
