Abstract: 【Objective】This study aimed to use plants in cropping systems for bioremediation, depleting nitrate nitrogen in deep soil profile to control nitrate leaching caused by excessive nitrogen fertilizer application.【Method】Different treatments were designed in a plot experiment, including conventional wheat-maize rotation system, fallow-summer maize system, winter wheat-fallow system, rye-amaranth rotation system, rye-sorghum hybrid sudan grass rotation system , rye-sweet sorghum rotation system, alfalfa continuous cropping and alfalfa+fescue inlercropping. The effects of each cropping system on the decrease of accumulation and leaching of soil nitrate nitrogen was analyzed.【Result】The results show that alfalfa, sorghum hybrid sudan grass and rye had the highest percentage of roots in 1-2 m soil profile. Annual plant N uptake under rye-amaranth, rye-sorghum hybrid sudan grass and rye-sweet sorghum treatments were the highest, about 300-390 kgN•hm-2. Fallow in summer season increased nitrate leaching from 0-1 m soil profile. After the first year’s remediation, all the five treatments significantly reduced nitrate accumulation in 0-1 m and 0-2 m soil profile, decresed 124.3 kgN•hm-2 and 81.2 kgN•hm-2 respectively. Sorghum hybrid sudan grass, sweet sorghum and amaranth were more effective in decreasing nitrate nitrogen accumulation in deep soil layers. Nitrate concentration in soil solution under rye-sweet sorghum, rye-sorghum hybrid sudan grass and rye-amaranth systems was in the lowest level, averaged only 8.6 mg•L-1.【Conclusion】According to the first year’s results, rye-sorghum was the best cropping system to decrease the accumulated nitrate in deep soil layers and further control nitrate pollution.
