Abstract

Water and nitrogen are the core elements that restrict tomato production, and the water and nitrogen coupling is the key to achieve high-quality, efficient, green and sustainable production of tomato. This study systematically reviews the current status and mechanisms of water-nitrogen coupling in tomato cultivation, evaluating its comprehensive effects on yield-quality-efficiency-environment. Through literature synthesis and comparative analysis, we integrate evidence from both facility and field experiments, as well as model-based and omics-based approaches, to analyze the multi-dimensional impacts of water-nitrogen coupling on plant growth and development, photosynthesis, yield and quality, water and fertilizer use efficiency, and soil nitrate nitrogen dynamics. Results indicate that moderate water and nitrogen application enhances net photosynthetic rate, water use efficiency (WUE), and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE), while balancing yield and soluble solids content and reducing nitrate leaching and N2O emissions. By contrast, excessive water and nitrogen dilutes product quality and amplifies environmental risks. The study concludes that region-specific synergistic water-nitrogen management can achieve the integration of high yield, superior quality, and low emissions. In response to current challenges such as insufficient regional adaptability and standardization, nitrogen loss and environmental risks, trade-offs between yield and quality, and inconsistencies in fertilization timing and ratios, future research priorities are proposed, which include elucidating molecular mechanisms and genetic improvement, regulating rhizosphere microorganisms, developing IoT-enabled smart decision-making systems for precision management, innovating with controlled release fertilizers and reclaimed water resources, and establishing zonal parameterization frameworks.

The characteristics of the growing environment (arid and semi-arid regions with abundant light), wastage of water, types of fertilizers used, quality of the plants, and the decline in yield due to the need for large quantities of water and fertilizers are the most significant obstacles to wolfberry cultivation. To cope with the scarcity of water caused by the increase in the area of wolfberry cultivation and to improve the efficiency of the utilization of water and fertilizers, a two-year field experiment was conducted in a typical area of the central dry zone of Ningxia in 2021 and 2022. The effects of different water and nitrogen coupling on the physiology, growth, quality, and yield of wolfberry were investigated, and a water and nitrogen management model with better indicators was constructed based on the TOPSIS model and a comprehensive scoring method. In the experiment, three irrigation quotas of 2,160, 2,565, and 2,970 m3 ha–1 (I1, I2, and I3) and three N applications of 165, 225, and 285 kg ha–1 (N1, N2, and N3) were established; the local conventional management served as the control (CK). The results showed that the growth index of wolfberry was most significantly affected by irrigation, followed by the water and nitrogen interaction effect, and the nitrogen application had the least effect. The growth and development of wolfberry plants mainly takes place during the fruit ripening and flowering periods, and growth almost stops after entering the fruit ripening period. The chlorophyll (SPAD) values were affected by irrigation and nitrogen application to a significant level, except for during the spring tip period, but the effect of water and nitrogen interaction was not significant. The SPAD values of N2 treatment were better under different irrigation. The daily photosynthetic activity of wolfberry leaves peaked between 10:00 am and noon. The daily photosynthetic dynamics of wolfberry were affected by irrigation and nitrogen application to a significant level during the fruit ripening period, and the transpiration rate and leaf water use efficiency were affected by water and nitrogen interaction to a significant level during 8:00 am and noon, while the effect was not significant during the spring tip period. The yield, dry-to-fresh ratio, and 100 grain weight of wolfberry were significantly affected by the irrigation, nitrogen application, and their interaction effects. Specifically, the two-year yield with I2N2 treatment increased by 7.48% and 3.73%, respectively, compared to CK. The quality indices were significantly affected by irrigation and nitrogen application, except for the total sugars; other indexes were also significantly affected by water and nitrogen interaction effects. The evaluation of the TOPSIS model showed that the I3N1 treatment yielded the best quality of wolfberry, and the results of the integrated scoring method based on the growth, physiology, yield, and quality indicators and water-saving objectives showed that the I2N2 (2,565 m3 ha-1, 225 kg ha-1) treatment was the optimal water and nitrogen management mode for drip-irrigated wolfberry. Our findings provide a scientific basis for the optimal irrigation and management of fertilization of wolfberry in arid regions.

试验设置固定隔沟灌和交替隔沟灌两种灌溉方式,每种灌溉方式设置2个灌水水平和2个施氮水平,共8个处理,展开不同水氮组合对温室番茄品质影响的研究。结果表明:追肥前番茄叶片光合速率日变化呈“双峰”曲线,追肥后出现“双峰”和“单峰”两种曲线。追肥前后番茄的蒸腾速率日变化均呈“单峰”曲线。追肥前,交替隔沟灌均能提高番茄叶片的光合速率和蒸腾速率,高水处理表现的更显著。追肥后,交替隔沟灌比固定隔沟灌能显著提高番茄叶片的蒸腾速率,交替隔沟灌高水或固定隔沟灌低肥处理均可明显提高番茄的蒸腾速率。

The purpose of this study was to explore the carbon and nitrogen metabolism mechanisms of sand-cultivated cucumbers under different deficit irrigation–nitrogen management strategies and provide a theoretical basis for their greenhouse management. This study set up two factors, the deficit irrigation level and the nitrogen application rate, and conducted an experiment on deficit irrigation–nitrogen coupling of sand-cultivated cucumbers using a quadratic saturation D–optimal design. Seven treatments were set up in the experiment, to measure the soluble sugar and protein contents, as well as the activity of key enzymes for carbon and nitrogen metabolism at five different growth stages. The results indicate that the 80% irrigation with 623 kg N hm−2 (IN4) treatment significantly improved the soluble sugar, protein, and actual leaf nitrogen contents of cucumber at the five different growth stages and, as a result, achieved higher sucrose synthase (SS) and sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS) activities in the cucumber leaves. Furthermore, such improvements were due to the reduction in oxidative damage of sand–cultivated cucumber at various growth stages. The IN4 and 89% irrigation with 1250 kg N hm−2 (IN5) treatments significantly increased the activities of RuBisCO, catalase (CAT), peroxidise (POD), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) at various growth stages of sand-cultivated cucumber. The higher activities of glutamate dehydrogenase (GLDH), glutamate synthase (GOGAT), nitrate reductase (NR), glutamine synthase (GS), acid invertase enzyme (AIE), neutral invertase enzyme (NIE), and better antioxidative enzyme activities were recorded under the IN4 treatments at various growth stages, which effectively improve (69.6%) cucumber yield. The soil properties, carbon and nitrogen metabolism, and antioxidant metabolism were positively correlated with sand-cultivated cucumber yield in a greenhouse. We concluded that the IN4 treatment was the better deficit irrigation–nitrogen management strategy because it considerably improves carbon and nitrogen metabolism, antioxidant enzyme activities, and sand–cultivated cucumber yield in a greenhouse.

于2006-2007年在大田条件下对灌水、施氮量和水氮互作对2个不同类型的冬小麦品种石新733和石麦15叶片叶绿素含量和光合速率的影响进行了研究。结果表明,适量施氮对提高小麦叶片叶绿素含量及光合速率效果明显。水氮耦合对叶绿素含量和光合速率具有类似的效应:灌拔节1水条件下,叶绿素含量及光合速率随施氮量的增高而增高;灌拔节、开花2水条件下;两品种旗叶叶绿素合成对施氮量需求呈现显著下降趋势,施氮量过高反而不利于叶绿素合成和光合速率的提高,石麦15表现更为明显;灌开花水可以延缓花后20.d后旗叶叶绿素的降解,但这一效应随着施氮量的增高而降低,石麦15表现尤其明显。叶绿素含量较低的品种石麦15在灌1水条件下叶绿素含量和光合速率在花后6~15 d呈显著正相关。石新733以春灌2水施纯氮20.kg/hm2,石麦15以春灌2水施纯氮120.kg/hm2叶绿素含量和光合速率最高。

研究了2种灌水量(W)和3种施氮(N)量对日光温室番茄产量和土壤中水、N利用率的影响,结果表明:施N量对番茄产量的影响大于灌水量,两因素间存在交互作用。施N量和灌水量均可显著影响土壤水分利用率(WUE<sub>Y</sub>)。灌水量较多时(4 541.0 m3 /hm2),WUE<sub>Y</sub>随着施N量的增加而增加,但差异不显著;而灌水量较少(2 270.5m3 /hm2)时,追施少量N肥(373.77 kg/hm2)即可显著提高WUE<sub>Y</sub>;在施N量相同的前提下,加大灌水量可显著降低WUE<sub>Y</sub>。在灌水量相同的情况下,随着施N量的增加,N素损失率显著增加;在施N量相同的情况下,不同的灌水量对N素损失率影响不显著。
