Abstract

Understanding the effects of water, nitrogen (N) and their interaction on the yield, water and N use efficiencies of rice would have great significance in synergistically realizing high yield, high water use efficiency (WUE) and high N use efficiency (NUE). This paper reviewed the advances achieved in water-saving irrigation techniques, NUE and N fertilizer application techniques, coupling effect of water and N on grain yield, WUE and NUE in rice, and crop-soil relationship and its mechanism regulated by water and N. The existing problems were discussed, i.e., very limited work on synergistic interaction between water and N on the crop growth and soil quality; little information on the molecular mechanism that water and nitrogen interact on the efficient absorption and utilization of water and nitrogen in high-yielding rice; and yet to be established the crop-soil integrative management system for simultaneous increases in grain yield, WUE and NUE. Aiming to solve these problems, several important issues meriting further investigation were suggested, that is, the synergistic interaction between water and N on the crop and soil for high yield, high WUE and high NUE and its biological process, the physiological and molecular mechanism in which high-yielding rice absorbs and utilizes water and N efficiently, and crop-soil integrative approaches and key techniques to simultaneously increase grain yield, WUE, and NUE in rice.
