In a pot experiment at greenhouse,effects of N fertilizer on concentrations of Fe,Mn,Cu and Zn in shoot of rice and quality of brown rice were studied.With the increase of N fertilizer application,the concentrations of Fe,Mn,Cu and Zn in shoot increased.Effects of N fertilizer on IR68144 were similar to IR64,but different in the contents of trace elements in plant,suggesting that characteristic expression of the tested two genotypes is not controlled by the amount of N fertilizer supplied.Concentrations of those microelements in brown rice increased at first and then decreased with the increase of N fertilizer application.Contents of Fe,Mn,Cu and Zn in brown rice of the two varieties reached the highest level at 160 kg/hm2 N.Comparing with control,contents of Fe,Mn,Cu and Zn in brown rice of IR64 increased by 28.96%,41.34%,58.31% and 16.0%,while those of IR68144 increased by 22.16%,13.75%,8.75% and 20.21%,respectively.Meanwhile,N fertilizer promoted the accumulation of protein in grains,decreased the accumulation of amylose,and enhanced gel consistency of brown rice.Those results indicated that appropriate N fertilizer management could increase micronutrient content in grains and improve nutrition quality of rice.
