Optimizing nitrogen fertilizer application protocol to minimize the risk of nitrogen loss while maintaining high yields of direct‐seeded rice
Optimizing the N fertilization application protocol significantly increased rice seedling emergence rate and tiller number, improved root morphology and enhanced N metabolism enzyme activities, Increased SPAD value and leaf area index, and reduces N losses (NH<sub>3</sub> volatilization and runoff losses). The optimal N fertilizer application protocol for direct seeded rice was N<sub>54-72-54</sub>. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry.
