Abstract: With the applications of labeled 15N-Nurea plus hydroquinone, dicyandiamide and their combination, a pot experiment with spring wheat was conducted. The result shows that at the end of growing season, the plant recovery, the remainder in soil and the loss occupied 17.65~23.69 %, 43.72~56.32% and 19.99~36.77% of applied urea N, respectively. In comparison with applying urea alone, a combined application of hydroquinone and dicyandiamide induced a 16.78% higher total recovery and 5.96% higher plant recovery. The application of urea had a greatest contribution to the Ncontent of wheat grain, being43.3~62.0% of the 15N Nuptake of whole plant.
