Abstract:This study aimed to investigate the relationship between different fertilization methods and rice quality,as well as the effects of nitrogen application rates and fertilization timing on rice yield, quality, and physicochemical properties, thereby providing a theoretical basis for optimizing fertilization strategies. Using the rice variety Keyou 1 as experimental material, five treatments were established: conventional fertilization(CK), 30% nitrogen reduction+shifting nitrogen application to the panicle initiation stage+foliar silicon fertilizer(T2), 38.25% nitrogen reduction+shifting nitrogen application to the panicle initiation stage+bio-organic fertilizer(T3), 30% nitrogen reduction+no panicle fertilizer(T4), and 30% nitrogen reduction+shifting nitrogen application to the panicle initiation stage+wide-narrow row planting(T5). The effects of these treatments on yield components(plant height, grains per panicle, seed-setting rate, 1 000-grain weight) and rice processing, appearance, and were analyzed. The results showed that T2 and T5 achieved significantly higher yields than CK, reaching 529.6 kg/667 m2 and 425.8 kg/667m2, respectively. T5 significantly improved head rice rate(81.4%) and reduced chalkiness degree(0.7%) through wide-narrow row cultivation. T4 exhibited the highest taste value(84 points) and lowest protein content(6.1%), indicating that nitrogen reduction combined with panicle fertilizer regulation could optimize rice nutritional quality.In conclusion, a 30% reduction in conventional nitrogen application combined with no panicle fertilizer and foliar silicon fertilizer achieved synergistic improvement in both yield and quality, providing technical support for green and efficient rice cultivation.
