In order to clarify the application effect of new fertilizer zinc-containing urea on summer maize and its after-effect on winter wheat，a field experiment was conducted to study the yield，nutrient absorption and accumulation of summer maize，soil nutrient content change and its after-effect on winter wheat yield under the application of zinc-containing urea，urea，urea + zinc fertilizer，and urea + foliar spraying zinc fertilizer. The results showed that the yield of maize with urea + foliar spaying zinc fertilizer treatment was higher than that without nitrogen fertilizer，which significantly increased by 17.5%. The yield of maize of zinc-containing urea treatment was increased significantly by 16.7% than that of without nitrogen fertilizer，and significantly higher than that of urea treatment by 5.6%. There was no significant difference between zinc-containing urea and traditional zinc application. Compared with urea treatment，the accumulation of nitrogen and zinc in the ground of zinc-containing urea treatment were significantly increased by 9.0% and 47.8%，respectively. After summer maize harvest，the soil available zinc content of zinc-containing urea treatment was 1.83 mg·kg-1，which was 88.6% higher than that of urea treatment. The yield of later winter wheat of urea + zinc fertilizer treatment was higher，which was 11.9% higher than that of urea treatment. The winter wheat yield of zinc-containging urea treatment was 4.7% higher than that of urea treatment，and the annual crop rotation yield was increased by 5.2%. Summer maize profit and annual rotation profit were increased by 826.2 and 1490.4 yuan·hm-2，respectively. Zinc-containing urea treatment had a better yield increase effect on summer maize，which increased the soil available zinc content. It also had a yield and profit increase effect on winter wheat in later season and annual yield. There was no significant difference between zinc-containing urea and traditional zinc application in the summer maize yield，dry matter accumulation and nitrogen fertilizer utilization characteristics，and the input cost of zinc-containing urea was reduced by 26.1%，compared with the traditional zinc application(nitrogen fertilizer and zinc fertilizer)，which increased the yield and economic benefit compared with urea treatment. Zinc-containing urea has the potential to be applied in the maize-wheat rotation system.
