Multi-split nitrogen application via drip irrigation improved dry matter accumulation, nitrogen uptake and utilization efficiency in flue-cured tobacco.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeFlue-cured tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.), a key economic crop in China, is highly dependent on nitrogen (N) management. This study evaluated the effects of multi-split N application via drip irrigation on tobacco growth, N accumulation, and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE).
methodsA randomized experiment was conducted with 10 treatments (T0-T9) in K326 tobacco grown in nutrient-rich brown soil. The treatments differed in terms of N application timing and proportions.
resultsT2 and T3, which applied N twice post-transplant, led to the highest dry weight accumulation in roots, stems, and leaves, with T3 resulting in a 65.8% increase in root dry weight over that of T6. N accumulation followed the order of leaves > stems > roots, with T1 resulting in the highest total N accumulation, a 1.77-fold significant increase compared with that in T0 (p < 0.05). The fertilizer nitrogen (FN) was highest at T1 and T2, reaching nearly 46%, whereas T9 presented the lowest FN, decreasing by 22% compared with that at T1. T1 also retained the most N in the soil, whereas T3 had the highest N residues after the first top dressing. Uneven N applications resulted in significantly lower biomass and NUE.
conclusionsThese results highlight the importance of balanced multi-split N applications (T2 and T3) in improving dry matter accumulation, NUE, and crop quality. Optimizing N application through drip irrigation offers a promising approach to improving both yield and N management efficiency in flue-cured tobacco cultivation.
