Abstract:

In this paper, in order to promoting slow/controlled release fertilizers (SRFs) applying to maize production, achieve maize simplified cultivation production, the SRFs concept, characteristics and significance are introduced. The effects of SRFs in maize production are summarized in china, and the results showed that: the SRFs could make maize yield increase compared with conventional fertilizer in the same amount nutrients in different soils and regions, the percentage increases is 5.1-19.6%, current quarter utilization rate of fertilizer was improved with 3.54% -19.1 %, and was also the maize grain quality. the main problems are put forward about SRFs applying to maize production in China, the application prospect of SRFs is discussed in the future, and the maize-specific SRFs should be developed and promoted actively.
