Response of Maize under Plastic Mulch to Controlled Release Urea in Yunnan

Response of Maize under Plastic Mulch to Controlled Release Urea (CRU) in Yunnan, China, 2012 This research project was initiated in Yunnan province in 2011 to investigate the performance of controlled release urea (CRU) in a high fertility sloping land soil under plastic mulch in humid climate with irregular drought spells in summer.

Response of Maize under Plastic Mulch to Controlled Release Urea (CRU) in Yunnan, 2011 The majority of field controlled-release urea (CRU) experiments conducted on maize in recent years were arranged in north China where 80% of maize in China is grown. In 2011, a field experiment was carried out in Yunnan, a big maize producer in south China, to investigate performance of CRU in a high fertility sloping land soil under plastic mulch in humid climate with irregular drought spells in summer.
