Effects of Nitrogen Fertilizer Doses and Application Methods on the Yield of Syr Suluy Rice in the Kyzylorda Region

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to study the effect of doses of nitrogen fertilizers and methods of their application on the development and yield of rice plants of the Syr Suluy variety in the Kyzylorda region of the Republic of Kazakhstan. To study the effectiveness of methods for applying nitrogen fertilizers, options for their fractional application were provided at a rate of 120 kg/ha and 150 kg/ha. The ammonium nitrogen in the soil and the intensity of dry matter accumulation during the vegetation phases were analysed. The biometric parameters of rice plants were also studied, and the yield was estimated. Increasing the dose of nitrogen fertilizers led to increased accumulation of dry matter throughout the various phases of the rice vegetation. The improvement of the nitrogen regime of the soil contributed to an increase in yield by 3.29 t/ha or 85% compared to the variant without nitrogen fertilization. It was also found that with fractional application and 150 kg/ha of nitrogen fertilizer, the maximum economic profitability of 78.1% was achieved. The obtained data, which indicates the benefits of fractional application and increased doses of nitrogen fertilizers, can be used to optimize agricultural technology by refining fertilization schedules and dosages. This will aid in achieving the maximum possible and economically viable yield of rice of the Syr Suluy cultivar, ultimately improving farming practices in the Kyzylorda region of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
