Abstract:

This study investigated the effects of one-time basal application of controlled-release urea on the fresh ear yield, quality, and nitrogen utilization efficiency of summer-sown fresh sweet corn which could provide theoretical support for light and simple cultivation in fresh sweet corn production in Hubei province. Two years field experiments in 2016 and 2017 with four treatments including no nitrogen fertilizer (N0), split application of common urea (CUS), one-time basal application of common urea (CUB), and one-time basal application of controlled-release urea (CRUB) were set. The results showed that the ear length, ear diameter, kernels number per row, seeds number per ear and fresh ear yield increased significantly by nitrogen fertilizer application. Compared with N0, the fresh ear yield of nitrogen application treatments significantly increased by 17.14%-22.03% and 17.77%-26.39% in two years, respectively. CRUB obtained the highest fresh ear yield in two years, following by CUs and CUB treatments. There was no significant difference in fresh ear yield between CRUB and CUS in two years. Compared with the CUB in 2017, the fresh ear yields of CRUB and CUS increased by 7.32% and 6.96%. CRUB also significantly increased the total nitrogen uptake of fresh sweet corn as compared with the other N treatments in two years. In addition, nitrogen partial factor productivity (NPFP), nitrogen agronomic efficiency (NAE), the nitrogen recovery efficiency (NUE) and net economic benefit of CRUB were higher than that of CUB and CUS. Compared with the CUB and CUS, the CRUB significantly increased the content of soluble protein in grains in 2017. The different nitrogen applications did not affect the residue ratio, soluble sugar, and vitamin C contents. In summary, basal application of controlled-release urea could not only ensure yield and quality of fresh sweet corn, but also increase nitrogen use efficiency and farmer’s income. One-time basal application of controlled-release urea could be one of best nitrogen management practices for the production of summer-sown fresh sweet corn in eastern Hubei and similar ecological area.
