Impact of controlled-release urea on rice yield, nitrogen use efficiency and soil fertility in a single rice cropping system

Abstract Overuse of nitrogen (N) fertilizer has led to low N use efficiency (NUE) and high N loss in single rice cropping systems in southeast China. Application of controlled-release urea (CRU) is considered as an effective N fertilizer practice for improving crop yields and NUE. Here, field experi...
