Abstract

【Objective】 The researth studied the effects of different fertilizers and water managements on water distribution in soil and water use efficiency of tomato to provide reference service for reasonable water and fertilizer utilization in vegetable cultivation in sunlight greenhouse.【Method】 A field experiment was carried out in soil cultivated sunlight greenhouse in Yangling district,Shaanxi Province to study the effects of different fertilizers and water managements on water distribution in soil and water use efficiency of tomato.【Result】 The water utilization efficiency of the treatment with addition of 450 kg N/hm2,225 kg P2O5/hm2,and 225 kg K2O/hm2 was as high as 50.3 kg/m3,when water saving irrigation method was adopted.When the amount of irrigation water was similar,there was not significant difference between the water utilization efficiency of conventional fertilization and formula fertilization.When the amount of fertilizing was similar,water saving irrigation improved the water utilization efficiency significantly compared with conventional irrigation.When the amount of fertilizing was 450 kg N/hm2,315 kg P2O5/hm2,and 450 kg K2O/hm2,water in soil at tomato harvest was lowest,which was less 0.88×103 m3/hm2 than corresponding period amounts of conventional irrigation and conventional fertilizion,and 0.52×103 m3/hm2 less than amounts of planting.The trend of tensiometers readings changes in different days was identical to the change of soil moisture,and could indicate the water level in the soil.【Conclusion】 Water-saving irrigation and formula fertilization in this study did not increase tomato yield,but significantly increased water use efficiency of tomato.
