Abstract
Optimal applications of water and fertilizers are important for maintaining yield and reducing environmental pollution in green-house vegetable production. An experiment was conducted to examine nitrogen(N)loss pathways and nitrogen use efficiency(NUE)under different water and fertilizer managements in a tomato-growing greenhouse located in Shunyi, Beijing from August 2009 to January2010. Six different water and fertilizer combinations were designed, including(i)traditional fertilization + traditional irrigation(N1F1)(,ii)optimal fertilization +optimal irrigation(N2F2)(,iii)reduced fertilizer + optimal irrigation(N3F2),(iv)traditional fertilization +conven-tional drip irrigation(N1D1)(,v)the optimal fertilization + optimal drip irrigation(N2D2)and(vi)reduced fertilizer + optimal drip irrigation(N3D2). We used the field observed dataset to calibrate and validate the EU-Rotate N model, and calculated N leaching, gaseous N loss and NUE. The results showed that the amounts of N leaching and gaseous N loss under different treatments accounted for 1%~9% and 5%~14% of total applied N, respectively. Nitrogen leaching for all treatments was in order:N1F1N3F2≈ N2F2N1D1N2D2N3D2. Compared with the corresponding furrow treatments, N leaching under drip treatments was reduced by 72%~87%, gaseous N loss decreased by about 40%, and the NUE increased by 32%~36%. Therefore, optimal fertilization and drip irrigation combination practices could significantly reduce N leaching and gaseous N loss and increase the NUE without decreasing tomato yields.
