In order to understand the characteristics of farmers’ nutrient management strategy on yield and nutrient use efficiency in recent 16 years in the low plain area of Hebei province,six insite soil fertility monitoring experiments data sets,which was conducted since 1998 to 2014,were used to evaluate the changes in this region.The results showed that the fertilization rate for wheat kept at high level,averaged yearly N,P2O5 and K2O application rates were 315.2,199.5 and 173.2 kg/hm2,respectively.The fertilization rate of N,P2O5 and K2O for maize increased year by year,and had reached 247.0,69.8 and 128.5 kg/hm2,respectively,in 2014.The wheat and maize yield for fertilization plots increased about 40.7% and 72.4%,respectively,in 2014 than that in 1998.But for the no fertilization plots,there was no yield increasing for wheat and 36.1% yield increasing for maize.The fertilization rate increasing did not affect the wheat yield,but significantly increased the maize yield.The nutrient use efficiency of PFPN and AEN for wheat did not change too much due to the high fertilization rates,but all had the declining trend for maize with the time and the fertilization rates increasing.And the percentage of basic soil fertility contribution to wheat and maize yield kept declining.
