Summary
Abstract BACKGROUND Sustainable greenhouse tomato production requires optimal fertilizer management to achieve the double‐win strategy of producing high yields and maximizing profits with less environmental pollution. The objective of this study was to seek an optimal fertilization strategy maintaining high productivity of greenhouse tomato, improving nitrogen use efficiency and reducing nitrate leaching risk. RESULTS The combined application of soluble organic and chemical fertilizers for topdressing (SOSC) not only produced more fruit yield (75.18 Mg ha −1) and plant dry matter (10 449.12 kg ha −1), but also enhanced plant nutrients uptake, nitrogen recovery efficiency (39.22%), nitrogen agronomic efficiency (176.78 kg kg −1), soluble solids, vitamin C and lycopene content in tomato frui
