For reducing chemical fertilizer application with increasing fertilizer efficiency and the zero growth of fertilizer usage, it could be an effective way to replace ordinary urea (CU) by controlled-release urea (CRU). In this study, a field experiment was conducted in the representative double cropping paddy fields of Dongtinghu lake area, with six treatments including CU, 100% nitrogen (N) of controlled release urea (1.0CRU), N reduction 10% of controlled release urea (0.9CRU), N reduction 20% of controlled release urea (0.8CRU), and N reductio...
