[Objective] This study aimed to investigate the effects of different fertilizer levels on lodging and yield of rice. [Method] A total of four treatments were de- signed and applied with 6, 9, 12 and 15 kg of nitrogen fertilizer, respectively. After seedling transplanting, the biological characteristics of rice at different growth stages in each treatment and the biological and economic characteristics of rice after lodg- ing were determined for statistical analysis. [Result] Application with 15 kg of nitro- gen fertilizer had significant promotion effect on the increase of rice yield; compared with the control （6 kg of nitrogen fertilizer）, rice yield in three experimental treat- ments （9, 12 and 15 kg of nitrogen fertilizer, respectively） increased by 50.74%, 89.11% and 94.48%, respectively; lodging-resistance mechanical strengths of the three experimental treatments were 103.97%, 132.01% and 89.83% of the control, respectively; rice lodging resistance of treatment C （12 kg of nitrogen fertilizer） was the strongest, with the highest yield. [Conclusion] This study provides reference data and technical support for the rational fertilization of rice production.
