Abstract: The nutrient balance and efficiency in five rice field ecosystems were studied at the lower reach plain of Liaohe River from 1994~1996. The results show that the Ninput and output in various patterns of rice ecosystem were basically balance, little more for Kinput than output, and Pinput as twice much as its output. With rational management measures of fertilization and water-saving, the rice yield would be increased, and the nutrient efficiency would be enhanced to some extent.

Key words: Single-cropping rice, Rice field ecosystem, Nutrient balance, Nutrient efficiency
