Abstract
Excessive nitrogen fertilization in rice fields often leads to nitrogen leaching, which contaminates groundwater and contributes to environmental pollution. This study evaluates the effectiveness of various fertilization regimens (conventional, slow-release, and integrated nutrient management) on nitrogen leaching and rice yield in paddy fields. Nitrogen concentrations in leachate were monitored, alongside plant growth and yield metrics. The results showed that slow-release fertilizers significantly reduced nitrogen leaching while maintaining comparable or slightly higher yields compared to conventional fertilizers. Integrated nutrient management, combining organic and inorganic fertilizers, provided the most sustainable solution with reduced environmental impact and optimized yield.
