Having researched the influences of the slow-release compound fertilizer(SRCF),the coated-release compound fertilizer(Multicote) and the common compound fertilizer(CCF) on the growth and nitrogen nutrition of rice by the pot culture experiment.The results showed that the changes of the rice stem and leaf weight,root/top ratio,N content of rice plant,fertilizer N in plant and apparent recovery efficiency of fertilizer N in the treatment applied SRCF accorded with that of Multicote,and was obvious better than the CCF.This indicated that nutrient released slowly from SRCF could meet the need of rice at the different growth stages.
