Main conclusions are as follows: 1) Actual nitrogen rate in rice-wheat rotation system of Taihu Lake Watershed was 513.09 kg·hm-2 per year with 310.91 kg·hm-2 in the rice season and 202.18 kg·hm-2 in the wheat season, which revealed that excessive application of nitrogen mainly existed in the rice season. 2) Nitrogen played an active role in increasing yield of rice and wheat, but their yield, nitrogen accumulation, agronomic efficiency and recovery efficiency tended to decrease when nitrogen rate climbed to a certain point. 3) Nitrogen surplus and loss continued to increase as nitrogen rate rose in rice-wheat rotation system of Taihu Lake Watershed and nitrogen loss was estimated to be 41.26 kg·hm-2 per year under current nitrogen rate. %U https://www.jnr.ac.cn/EN/10.11849/zrzyxb.2011.06.006
