Higher yields of hybrid rice do not depend on nitrogen fertilization under moderate to high soil fertility conditions

Higher yields of hybrid rice do not depend on nitrogen fertilization under moderate to high soil fertility conditions

Abstract Background Increasing rice yield with fewer external inputs is critical to ensuring food security, reducing environmental costs, and improving returns. Use of hybrid rice has expanded greatly in China due to its higher yield potential. Meanwhile, large and increasing amounts of nitrogen (N)...
