The application effect and nutrient absorption and utilization characteristics of nitrogen，phosphorus and potassium potassium fertilizer of maize were clarified in western Jilin province，to provide basis for rational application and allocation of fertilizer，and play a positive role in continuously promoting the reduction and efficiency of chemical fertilizer and promoting the green development of agriculture.A total of 360 maize “3414” field experiments were conducted in the west of Jilin province during 2015-2019 under the soil testing and formula fertilization project of the central finance.The maize yield under different fertilization conditions was studied，and the yield increasing effect of increasing nitrogen，phosphorus and potassium fertilizers as well as the agronomic efficiency and fertilizer contribution rate of different fertilizers were compared.The results showed that nitrogen，phosphorus and potassium combined application of N2P2K2 (fertilizer N，P2O5 and K2O were 209.20，97.80 and 85.15 kg/hm²，respectively) had the highest maize yield，with an average yield of 9.46 t/hm² and an average yield increase of 50.64% compared with that without fertilization.The average yield of nitrogen，phosphorus and potassium application treatments increased by 2.21，1.37 and 1.32 t/hm², with increase of 37.81%, 23.65% and 22.41%，respectively，compared with the treatments of different nutrient deficiency.Compared with no fertilizer treatment，the yields of maize in the different nutrient deficiency treatments were significantly different，and the order was N2P2K0 (8.14 t/hm²)>N2P0K2 (8.09 t/hm²)>N0P2K2 (7.25 t/hm²)，indicating that the order of nutrient limiting factors of maize was nitrogen>phosphorus>potassium in western Jilin province.At the same time，treatments with nitrogen，phosphorus and potassium application increased tje plant nutrient uptake (N 192.5 kg/hm²，P2O5 86.5 kg/hm² and K2O 217.4 kg/hm²).In western of Jilin province，the average agricultural efficiency of nitrogen，phosphorus and potassium fertilizer was 15.11 kg/kg N，22.28 kg/kg P2O5 and 19.44 kg/kg K2O，respectively，and the average utilization rate was 39.50%，29.27% and 45.71%，respectively，and the average fertilizer contribution rate was 23.72%，17.59% and 14.97%，respectively.In the western ecological area of Jilin province，maize fertilization has a higher yield and fertilizer utilization rate，but it is still necessary to combine the local soil conditions to apply fertilizers scientifically，adopt technologies such as reducing chemical fertilizer amount and increasing efficiency，so as to improve fertilizer utilization efficiency，realize maize yield increase and soil fertility improvement.
