Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect FW1 and FW2 formula fertilizer and water treatments gave tomato yields not significantly different from grower control treatments
- Intervention effect FW1 and FW2 saved 35% to 46% of nitrogen fertilizer compared with FW
- Intervention effect FW1 and FW2 saved 40% to 54% of phosphorus fertilizer compared with FW
- Intervention effect FW1 and FW2 saved 19% to 35% of potassium fertilizer compared with FW
- Intervention effect FW1 and FW2 saved 15% to 21% of irrigation water compared with FW
- Intervention effect FW1 and FW2 gave higher economic profits than FW and FP treatments
- Intervention effect Formula treatments reduced soil electrical conductivity under tomato in solar greenhouses
- Intervention effect Formula treatments reduced the accumulation of soil nitrate, available P and available K under tomato
- Observation Soil nutrients under tomato remained above optimal levels
- Mechanism Obvious N surplus in the tomato greenhouse was attributed mainly to high N input from manures
