Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Increasing irrigation enhanced total aboveground biomass, fruit yield and nitrogen partial factor productivity of greenhouse cucumber.
- Intervention effect Increasing irrigation reduced water use efficiency of greenhouse cucumber.
- Intervention effect Optimized nitrogen application enhanced total aboveground biomass and fruit yield.
- Intervention effect Optimized nitrogen application improved water use efficiency of greenhouse cucumber.
- Observation Total soluble solids and soluble sugar content were the critical quality indicators of cucumber.
- Intervention effect Fertilizing 360 kg/ha nitrogen with irrigation at 100% of E p-20 achieved the highest relative closeness in all three seasons.
- Recommendation Irrigating 75%-100% of E p-20 and applying 320-370 kg/ha nitrogen best balances yield, quality, WUE and nitrogen PFP for spring-cultivated cucumber.
- Recommendation Irrigating 94%-110% of E p-20 and applying 300-370 kg/ha nitrogen is practically optimal for autumn-cultivated cucumber.
- Intervention effect The practices improved greenhouse cucumber fruit quality.
- Intervention effect The practices achieved high greenhouse cucumber fruit yields.
