“…The strategies to reduce N and P fertilizer application in crop cultivation include either the mobilization of insoluble nutrients in minerals and organics or the reduction in nutrient loss from soils . N in organic matter often exceeds 90% of the total N, and organic matter contains 50–80% of total P in soils. , The P accumulation of global agricultural soils averaged 1584 kg ha –1 , which would be enough to maintain maximum yields for approximately 350 years if it is available for crops .…”

The overuse of chemical nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) fertilizers in tomato cultivation is common for high fruit yields to meet the ever-increasing industrial needs, resulting in poor fruit quality, fertilizer waste, and environmental pollution. Nutrient-mobilizing microbes increase soil nutrient supply and decrease fertilizer use without yield sacrifices. Thus, the influence of a new white-rot fungus Ceriporia lacerata HG2011 was studied on soil N and P mobilization in lab and ketchup tomato performances in field. Compared with noninoculation, soil pH decreased, while ammonia (NH 4 + -N), available P, microbial biomass N and P, and activities of protease and phosphatase in the inoculated soil increased as the fungus grew on and in the sterile soil. Protease activity was positively correlated with NH 4 + -N and phosphatase activity was with water-soluble P and Olsen P in the sterile soil. Soil pH showed an inverse correlation with available P. In the field experiment, the treatments included a blank control, C. lacerata, chemical fertilizers, and chemical fertilizers plus C. lacerata. Fungal inoculation enhanced the available N and P and the activities of protease and phosphatase in both fertilized and unfertilized soils, leading to the increment of plant nutrient uptake. Fungal application increased the fruit yield by 18.18−20.16%, soluble solids by 3.17−6.30%, soluble sugar by 10.67−43.33%, sugar−acid ratio 20.19− 52.91%, and vitamin C by 8.83−34.90%. Therefore, our results first demonstrated the new functions of C. lacerata HG2011 in the mobilization of soil N and P and the improvement of plant nutrient uptake, yield, and quality, showing a potential use as biofertilizers in ketchup-processing tomato cultivation.

“…Excessive water-soluble fertilizer has been used for tomato production in several growth periods to increase the yield of tomato in northern China. Seasonal average N input by chemical fertilizer increased from 817 to 1178 kg ha −1 (N) during 1994-2004 in China, which could be 3-5 folder more than what was required by tomato in the growth period (Yuan et al 2015;Wang et al 2016). Excessive N fertilization may result in noticeable decline in tomato yield, quality, and low nitrogen use efficiency (NUE), and consequently bring out in high economic input and environmental degradation potential such as greenhouse gas emissions increasing (Zhang et al 2013;Tieman et al 2017) and N pollution in surface water medium by soil nitrate leaching (Ju et al 2009;Wei et al 2016).…”

At present, excessive nitrogen (N) fertilizer application for tomato has attracted much research attention because of reducing fruit yield and quality and increasing fertilizer input cost and environmental pollution risks. A better management strategy of controlled-release urea (CRU) combined with normal urea for reducing the N application rate and maximizing tomato yield has led to the feasibility of their adoption in many cropping systems. The interactive effects of three blending ratios of urea to controlled-release urea (CRU) (6:4, 3:7, 0:10) and three levels of N fertilizer application rate (reduction by 15%, 30%, and 45% compared with conventional fertilization rate) on tomato yield and quality, economic return, nitrogen use efficiency (NUE), and soil inorganic N contents were investigated in greenhouse production system. The results indicated that application of CRU significantly increased tomato yield and NUE by 1.7-20.1% and 7.7-26.5%, respectively, compared with that of conventional fertilization (CF) treatment. Meanwhile, proper proportion of CRU and urea significantly improved tomato fruit Vitamin C concentration and sugar-acid ratio, which were 12.6-22.4% and 12.4-22.6% higher than that in the other N fertilizer treatments, respectively. The highest tomato yield and quality were achieved with the 15% reduction in N fertilization rate with urea to CRU blending ratio of 3:7, suggesting that the conventional N application rate exceeded what tomato requires. The study identified that a 15% reduction in N fertilization rate with urea to CRU blending ratio of 3:7 rendered a sustained supply of inorganic N in topsoil and optimal NUE during the growing season. This finding had practical implications for developing a sustainable N fertilization strategy, which reduced N fertilizer application with optimal blending of CRU with urea while maintaining high yield and quality for large-scale application in tomato production under greenhouse system.

“…Based on the previous pot experiment [14], we performed nine plot experiments simultaneously in nine fields covered with plastic greenhouses where the soils could reflect different residual nutrient levels in the study area. The present study aims to (i) clarify the responses of vegetable yields to fertilizer reduction under different residual nutrient levels, (ii) determine the critical level of residual nutrients that reducing chemical fertilizer does not decrease vegetable yield, (iii) reveal the affecting mechanism of fertilizer reduction on vegetable yield under the effect of residual nutrient, then find out the limiting factor.…”

Excessive chemical fertilizer application in greenhouse vegetable cultivation results in environmental risks and residual nutrients in the soil. Conventional plot experiments conducted in one field cannot recommend fertilizer reduction to farmers when the residual nutrient levels were various among different fields. In this study, nine plot experiments were simultaneously conducted in nine greenhouse fields where the soils could reflect different residual levels of nutrient, with two application rates (100 and 0%) for each nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizer. The results showed that fertilizer reduction did not decrease vegetable yield when soil nitrate, Olsen–phosphorus, and exchangeable potassium were ≥173.3, 45.8, and 93.1 mg kg−1, respectively. However, no N treatment decreased vegetable yields in fields 1–3 because the inadequately residual nitrate (≤103.9 mg kg−1) in these fields led to low nitrate absorbed from sources other than chemical fertilizer, high recovery efficiencies of N, and high productivity of N absorbed from chemical fertilizer. Residual nitrate that soil EC could reflect was the limiting factor of yield under fertilizer reduction. This study indicated that reducing fertilizer in greenhouse vegetable cultivation should be based on the residual level of nutrients in the soil, which is meaningful in agricultural sustainability and environmental safety.
