Other claims from this paper (13)
- Intervention effect Compared with conventional irrigation, alternate partial root-zone irrigation decreased water consumption of tomato by 16.0%-33.1%.
- Intervention effect Compared with conventional irrigation, alternate partial root-zone irrigation increased water use efficiency of yield (WUEy) of tomato by 6.7%-11.9%.
- Intervention effect Compared with conventional irrigation, alternate partial root-zone irrigation increased water use efficiency of dry mass (WUEd) of tomato by 10.2%-15.9%.
- Intervention effect The AI1 alternate irrigation treatment did not significantly decline tomato yield, total N uptake (TNU) or N use efficiency (NUE).
- Intervention effect Compared with the low urea rate (NL), the middle urea rate (NM) enhanced tomato yield by 28.5%.
- Intervention effect Compared with NL, NM enhanced tomato total N uptake (TNU) by 35.3%.
- Intervention effect Compared with NL, NM enhanced tomato WUEd by 16.3%.
- Intervention effect Compared with CINL, AI1NM reduced tomato water consumption by 12.5%.
- Intervention effect Compared with CINL, AI1NM increased tomato yield by 35.5%.
- Intervention effect Compared with CINL, AI1NM increased tomato total N uptake (TNU) by 58.4%.
- Intervention effect Compared with CINL, AI1NM increased tomato WUEy by 54.4%.
- Intervention effect Compared with CINL, AI1NM increased tomato WUEd by 53.7%.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that AI1 can improve water use efficiency and total N uptake of tomato simultaneously at a medium urea rate.
