The excessive irrigation and chemical fertilizer application in the greenhouse can lead to resources waste, environmental pollution instable or even reduced fruit yields. A four-season experiment was conducted with three levels (W1, 100%ETc; W2, 75%ETc; W3, 50%ETc, where ETc crop evapotranspiration) five fertilization practices (CC, chicken manure fertilizer; SO, only soluble organic SC, SOSC, CK, a control no fertilizer) explore their integrated effects on growth, water consumption, soil nitrate-nitrogen residue yield of drip-fertigated tomato. results showed that root shoot ratio autumn (3.21 ×10−2) greater than spring (2.05 ×10−2). Fruit dry matter had most significantly positive relationship both seasons; however, leaf matter, stem SPAD autumn. average over four growing seasons 70.68, 67.16 62.66 t ha−1 under W1, W2 respectively. SOSC increased plant height, tomato (0–60 cm), while SO obtained ratio. Both SC consumption at seedling stage, blooming setting stage CC; harvest SC. Under overgrowth occurred resulting lower yield. difference between CC increasing stress. Overall, combination along 100%ETc (W1SOSC) more conducive promoting (73.40 ha−1) reducing , fertilizers 75%ETc (W2SOSC) potential achieving water-saving production arid semiarid regions.

To alleviate the salinity and drought stresses faced in agricultural production, to improve crop water use efficiency (WUE) drought-prone regions, novel management strategies are needed. The combination of biochar amendment reduced irrigation regimes could mitigate negative effects WUE cotton plants. A split-root pot trial was performed order investigate two amendments [wheat straw pellets (WSP) soft wood (SWP)] combined with three schemes [full (FI), deficit (DI), partial root-zone drying (PRD)] on growth, physiology plants under levels [0 mM NaCl (S0) 200 (S1)]. results showed that salt stress depressed plant growth physiology, seed yield lint by 19.33–47.22% 40.43–58.81%, respectively. However, alleviated increased dry biomass allocation ratio 3.85%–12.54%, 5.07%–14.39% 9.78%–46.62% boll, S1, respectively, also ginning out turn (GOT), harvest index (HI), at level (WUEp WUEy) 0.21%–28.69%, 5.07%–14.39%, −0.30%–15.71% 5.83%–32.44%, Moreover, WSP superior SWP terms improving yield. PRD better physiological than DI, especially WUEp WUEy were 6.88%–13.73% 9.16%–22.78% greater DI. application counteracted decrease caused alone S0. Collectively, be a promising strategy sustainable production stress.
