Deep placement of nitrogen fertilizer is a key strategy for improving nitrogen use efficiency. A two-year field experiment was conducted during the early rice growing seasons (March-July) of 2016 and 2017. The experimental treatments comprised two rice cultivars: Wufengyou 615 (WFY 615) and Yuxiangyouzhan (YXYZ), and three N treatments: mechanical deep placement of all fertilizers as basal dose at 10 cm soil depth (one-time deep-placement fertilization, namely OTDP fertilization);manual sur-face broadcast (the common farmer practice) of 40%N fertilizer at one day before sowing (basal fertilizer) followed by broadcast application of 30%each at tillering and panicle initiation stages;and no fertilizer application at any growth stage as a control. One-time deep-placement fertilization increased grain yield of both rice cultivars by 11.8%-19.6%, total nitrogen accumulation by 10.3%-13.1%, nitrogen grain pro-duction efficiency by 29.7%-31.5%, nitrogen harvest index by 27.8%-30.0%, nitrogen agronomic efficiency by 71.3%-77.2%, and nitrogen recovery efficiency by 42.4%-56.7%for both rice cultivars, compared with the multiple-broadcast treatment. One-time deep-placement fertilization reduced CH4-induced global warming potential (GWP) by 20.7%-25.3%, N2O-induced GWP by 7.2%-12.3%, and total GWP by 14.7%-22.9%for both rice cultivars relative to the multiple-broadcast treatment. The activities of glutamine syn-thetase and nitrate reductase were increased at both panicle-initiation and heading stages in both rice cultivars following one-time deep-placement fertilization treatment. Larger leaf area index at heading stage and more favorable root morphological traits expressed as larger total root length, mean root diam-eter, and total root volume per hill were also observed. One-time deep-placement fertilization could be an effective strategy for increasing grain yield and nitrogen use efficiency and lowering greenhouse-gas emissions under mechanical direct-seeded cropping systems.
