Abstract

The nitrogen supplying power of rice straw for flooded rice production was studied in three field experiments. The net nitrogen immobilization was observed to be 0.54 per cent of the original dry weight of the straw as determined by grain yield responses over single growing seasons. Straws with higher nitrogen concentrations increased grain yield on nitrogen deficient soil, and straws with lower nitrogen concentrations depressed yield.
