Abstract In order to study the effects of different nitrogen supply levels(5 different treatments named CK, N1, N2, N3 and N4 with nitrogen concentration of 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 mg/L were set)on the root morphology and nutrient absorption of rice plants at heading stage. In this study, Huang Huazhan and Jingliangyou1468 were used as the research objects. The pot experiments were conducted by hydroponics, and the effects of nitrogen supply level on the morphology and nutrient absorption of rice roots at the heading stage were discussed. The results show that the percentage of total root length, total root volume and total root surface area of Huanghua increase by 4.62%, 189.58% and 36.63%, respectively, under N2 treatment. The total root length, total root volume and total root surface area of Jingliangyou1468 increase by 13.84%, 55.76% and 54.17%, respectively. The dry mass of roots, stems and leaves of Huang Huazhan and Jingliangyou1468 increase by 71.51%, 39.94%, 104.04%, and 90.38%, 46.53%, and 67.07%, respectively. Therefore, the total root length, total root volume and total root surface area of Huang Huazhan and Jingliangyou1468, as well as the dry mass of roots, stems and leaves, all increase first and then decrease with the increase in the concentration of the culture liquid nitrogen. The variation law is in accordance with the quadratic function relationship. When the nitrogen supply level is 50 mg/L, Huang Huazhan and Jingliangyou1468 are the most suitable for rice growth.
