Quantifying the Impact of Reduced Nitrogen Rates on Grain Yield and Nitrogen Use Efficiency in the Wheat and Rice Rotation System of the Yangtze River Region

Nitrogen (N) plays a vital role in plant growth; however, the yield response to N fertilizer is regularly declining in the major cropping systems due to overuse and the upper limit of yields. Heavy losses of N are also documented due to its excessive use in the rice-wheat rotation system, resulting...
