“…The quality indicators were vitamin C, soluble sugar, titratable acid content, sugar-acid ratio, fruit firmness, and color index. Amongst these indicators, the soluble sugar content was determined using 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid colorimeitry ( Negi et al, 2021 ), the vitamin C content was measured using 2,6-dichloroindophenol sodium indophenol titration ( Sun et al, 2022 ), the titratable acid content was measured using sodium hydroxide (NaOH) titration reference ( Liu et al, 2021 ), the fruit firmness was decided using an FHR-5 fruit firmness tester (Takemura electric works Ltd., toshima-ku, Japan), the color index was established using an SP60 color-spectrophotometer (X-rite Inc., Big Rapids, MI, United States). The sugar–acid ratio is the ratio of soluble sugar content to titratable acid content ( Liu et al, 2021 ).…”

The purpose of this study was to know the controlling effects of water and nitrogen coupling on the yield, quality, and water-nitrogen utilization effectiveness of mountain apples under surge-root irrigation in the Loess Plateau. In order to optimize the water and nitrogen irrigation systems of superior quality and high yield, 7 years was selected for the mountain apple test material. The trial was designed with four tiers of irrigation, i.e., full irrigation (FI: 85–100% θf, where θf is the field capacity), light deficit irrigation (DIL: 70–85% θf), moderate deficit irrigation (DIM: 55–70% θf), and severe deficit irrigation (DIS: 40–55% θf) and three tiers of nitrogen, i.e., high nitrogen (NH: 600 kg ha–1), medium nitrogen (NM: 400 kg ha–1), and low nitrogen (NL: 200 kg ha–1). The subjective weight attained by the analytic hierarchy methods and the objective weight achieved by the enhanced coefficient of variation method were examined to find the comprehensive weight based on the notion of game hypothesis. Then, the weighted technique for order of preference by similarity to the ideal solution (TOPSIS) process was utilized to comprehensively assess the yield, quality, and water-nitrogen use efficiency of the apples, and a binary quadratic regression model was created between the comprehensive evaluation index and water-nitrogen inputs. The results showed that the effects of irrigation and nitrogen levels on the fruit yield, irrigation water use efficiency (IWUE), total water use efficiency (TWUE), nitrogen partial factor productivity (NPFP), and quality of mountain apples were significant (P < 0.05). The apple yield and TWUE first improved and then diminished with an escalating quantity of water-nitrogen inputs, the IWUE diminished with a boost in the irrigation quantity, the NPFP dwindled when the nitrogen amount was increased. The best water and nitrogen inputs for apple yield, quality, or water-nitrogen use efficiency were dissimilar. The best comprehensive evaluation index was DILNM treatment, and the worst comprehensive evaluation index was DISNL treatment, based on the TOPSIS system. The interval of irrigation and nitrogen attained from the mathematic model ranged in 95–115 mm and 470–575 kg ha–1, respectively. The outcome of this study may perhaps offer a theoretical basis for the scientific research of surge-root irrigation and the managing of mountain apple tree irrigation and fertilization in the Loess Plateau, China.

“…Chemical fertilizer is the basis for a high yield of vegetables, while organic fertilizer is beneficial to the growth and quality of vegetables [7,8]. On the basis of properly reduced nitrogen fertilizer, the interaction of chemical and organic fertilizers could be strengthened, and the composition of plant nutrition structure was enhanced by using different types of organic fertilizers [9].…”

Fertilizer is extremely essential to increasing the yield of vegetables. However, excessively using fertilizers has had a negative impact on the yield and quality of vegetables as well as soil environment in recent years. Non-heading Chinese cabbage ‘yellow rose’ was applied to determine the influence of organic manure and inorganic fertilizer on the character of rhizosphere soil, the growth and quality of plants. There were five treatments: conventional fertilization (NF), a total nitrogen reduction of 20% (NF20), a total nitrogen reduction of 30% (NF30), a total nitrogen reduction of 20% with 100 kg·667 m−2 bio-organic fertilizer (BNF20) and a total nitrogen reduction of 30% with 200 kg·667 m−2 bio-organic fertilizer (BNF30). The results show that the content of nitrate nitrogen, organic matter in rhizosphere soil treated by BNF20 and BNF30, was significantly enhanced compared with NF. The yield, Vc and soluble protein of plants treated by BNF20 and BNF30 increased by 30.11%, 17.26%, 5.66% and 15.90%, 16.02%, 5.37%, respectively, compared with NF. On the contrary, the nitrate content significantly decreased in plants of BNF20 and BNF30 by 47.87% and 40.98% compared with NF. The significantly positive correlation was observed between nitrate nitrogen content in rhizosphere soil and the yield (p < 0.05). In conclusion, reduced nitrogen with bio-organic fertilizer can improve the yield and quality of ‘yellow rose’ cabbage by improving the quality of rhizosphere soil.

Agronomic management of a crop, including the application of fertilizers and biological inoculants, affects the phenol and flavonoid contents of plants producing these metabolites. Guadua angustifolia Kunth, a woody bamboo widely distributed in the Americas, produces several biologically active phenolic compounds. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of chemical and organic fertilizers together with the application of biological inoculants on the composition of phenolic compounds in G. angustifolia plants at the nursery stage. In 8-month-old plants, differences were observed in plant biomass (20.27 ± 7.68 g) and in the content of total phenols and flavonoids (21.89 ± 9.64 mg gallic acid equivalents/plant and 2.13 ± 0.98 mg quercetin equivalents/plant, respectively) when using the chemical fertilizer diammonium phosphate (DAP). No significant differences were found owing to the effect of the inoculants, although the plants with the application of Stenotrophomonas sp. on plants fertilized with DAP presented higher values of the metabolites (24.12 ± 6.72 mg gallic acid equivalents/plant and 2.39 ± 0.77 mg quercetin equivalents/plant). The chromatographic profile of phenolic metabolites is dominated by one glycosylated flavonoid, the concentration of which was favored by the application of the inoculants Azospirillum brasilense, Pseudomonas fluorescens, and Stenotrophomonas sp. In the case study, the combined use of DAP and bacterial inoculants is recommended for the production of G. angustifolia plant material with a high content of promising biologically active flavonoids or phenolics.
