- Intervention effect CRU at 180 kg N ha−1 maintained maize yield at 13.9 Mg ha−1.
- Intervention effect CRU at 180 kg N ha−1 improved nitrogen use efficiency.
- Observation TCU performed best among the coated urea samples.
- Intervention effect CRU significantly increased net photosynthetic rate by 7.9–32.7% during silking and milking.
- Intervention effect CRU significantly increased intercellular CO2 concentration by 20.6–40.0%.
- Intervention effect CRU sustained optimal hormone levels, N metabolism enzymes, and sucrase and urease activities.
- Intervention effect CRU reduced reactive N losses by 47.5% relative to common urea.
- Observation CRU outperformed common urea economically.
- Observation TCU provided the highest net benefit through yield stability and labor savings.
- Recommendation The authors identify TCU at 180 kg N ha−1 as an optimal maize production strategy in the North China Plain.
