hydroponic techniques is widespread. In this study, we evaluated the performance of an evolving management strategy through an iterative system design over 8 years in an integrated-rooftop greenhouse in Barcelona. Yield, solar radiation, water and nutrient consumption, and environmental impacts through Life Cycle Assessment were analysed. We hypothesized that improving irrigation management, partially substituting mineral fertilizers with recovered nutrients, and ensuring optimal solar radiation would enhance tomato productivity while reducing the environmental impact. The highest productivity was obtained in 2023 (49 g plant-1 day-1), in a cycle using 100 g plant-1 of struvite and in a cycle using mineral fertilization. The replacement of deteriorated polycarbonate sheets in 2023 increased greenhouse solar transmissivity and led to the highest productivity. Life Cycle Assessment impacts were mainly driven by crop yields, growing system characteristics, and energy required to power artificial lighting or nebulization systems, among other inputs. The lowest environmental impacts were obtained in the 2017 cycle (0.54 kg CO2 eq.) followed by the 2023 cycle (0.94 kg CO2 eq.), in which the highest yields were produced thanks to optimal solar transmissivity, dynamic fertigation, and/or struvite. The highest environmental impacts (3.84-12.05 kg CO2 eq.) were achieved in cycles with the lowest productivity (0.9-3.3 kg m-2) and in cycles using artificial lighting in the greenhouse (3.71 kg CO2 eq.) or in an indoor environment (7.07 kg CO2 eq.). Our findings demonstrate that statistically higher yields and environmental sustainability can be achieved by adopting struvite-based fertilization and regularly replacing the greenhouse covering material to ensure maximum light transmissivity. This research provides valuable and novel insights into optimizing tomato cultivation in rooftop greenhouses, achieving constant yields, and reducing the environmental footprints thus contributing to sustainable food production.

Introduction

Water availability is a crucial factor for crop performance in greenhouse tomato production, affecting both yield development and fruit composition traits. This study examined how deficit irrigation alters the relationship between yield and quality in tomatoes and whether foliar application of seaweed-derived biostimulants impacts these responses.

Methods

A greenhouse experiment was carried out under two different irrigation levels, characterized by soil moisture contents of approximately 23-27% under optimal watering and 12-15% under reduced watering, using treatments based on extracts of Laminaria digitata and Ascophyllum nodosum, applied separately and together. Yield components, temporal yield dynamics, and concentration-related compositional traits were evaluated, and integrative PCA and concentration-index analyses were performed.

Results

Reduced irrigation altered the yield structure by increasing fruit number and decreasing average fruit weight, while total yield showed limited variation among treatments. At the same time, concentration-related traits, including dry matter, soluble solids, vitamin C, and titratable acidity, were consistently higher under reduced irrigation. Biostimulant effects were dependent on the irrigation regime. Under optimal irrigation, treatment effects were limited, whereas under reduced irrigation, some treatments were associated with higher yields, primarily due to differences in fruit number during the main production peak. However, these yield responses were not consistently aligned with changes in compositional traits. Temporal yield analysis further showed that treatment effects under reduced irrigation were expressed mainly through modifications in the timing and intensity of peak production rather than through uniform effects across the entire production cycle. Integrative PCA and concentration-index analysis indicated that compositional enhancement and yield performance were only partly associated under reduced irrigation, suggesting a partial decoupling between productivity and fruit quality responses.

Discussion

Overall, the results show that the irrigation regime is the main factor influencing yield-quality relationships in greenhouse tomato, while biostimulant treatments add extra, context-dependent variability.

yield while cutting down excessive dependence on chemical synthetic fertilizers. Nevertheless, the explicit regulatory mechanisms by which bio-stimulants exert the role of growth-promoting functions still remain largely unclear and require further systematic clarification. In this study, we explored the influences of bio-stimulants (rich in humic acid) on tomato growth performance and rhizosphere microbial community assembly via greenhouse trials, and comparatively analyzed the functional differences between foliar spraying and root irrigation application modes. The results demonstrated that bio-stimulants treatment markedly improved tomato aboveground biomass, plant nitrogen and phosphorus accumulation by 17.1%, 27.4% and 22.7%, respectively. Meanwhile, bio-stimulants application effectively raised soil available nitrogen and soil organic matter levels, and further facilitated phosphorus assimilation in tomato plants. Metagenomic sequencing confirmed that bio-stimulants substantially reshaped the overall structure and composition of tomato rhizosphere microbiome. Specifically, they dramatically enriched the relative abundance of core microbial taxa responsible for soil nitrogen fixation and phosphorus solubilization. Collectively, these results clearly elaborate the underlying action mechanism: bio-stimulants optimize rhizosphere micro-ecological environment, enrich functional nutrient-solubilizing microorganisms, improve soil nutrient availability, and ultimately promote nutrient absorption and vegetative growth of tomato plants. This study confirms that bio-stimulants can serve as efficient and reliable regulators to advance green and sustainable crop production.", "affiliation": "Syngenta Group China, Sinofert Holdings Limited, Beijing, 100069, China.", "publicationStatus": "aheadofprint", "language": "eng", "pubModel": "Print-Electronic", "pubTypeList": { "pubType": [ "Journal Article" ] }, "grantsList": { "grant": [ { "grantId": "2024CXPT056", "agency": "the Key R&D Plan of Shandong Province (Competitive Innovation Platform) Project: Green, Ecological and Efficient Modern Agricultural Biological Product Development", "orderIn": 0 }, { "grantId": "2024CXPT056", "agency": "the Key R&D Plan of Shandong Province (Competitive Innovation Platform) Project: Green, Ecological and Efficient Modern Agricultural Biological Product Development", "orderIn": 0 } ] }, "keywordList": { "keyword": [ "Green agriculture", "Phosphorus Solubilization", "Rhizosphere Microbiome", "Bio-Stimulants" ] }, "subsetList": { "subset": [ { "code": "IM", "name": "Index Medicus" } ] }, "fullTextUrlList": { "fullTextUrl": [ { "availability": "Subscription required", "availabilityCode": "S", "documentStyle": "doi", "site": "DOI", "url": "https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-026-59808-w" } ] }, "isOpenAccess": "N", "inEPMC": "N", "inPMC": "N", "hasPDF": "N", "hasBook": "N", "hasSuppl": "N", "citedByCount": 0, "hasData": "N", "hasReferences": "N", "hasTextMinedTerms": "Y", "hasDbCrossReferences": "N", "hasLabsLinks": "N", "license": "cc by-nc-nd", "hasEvaluations": "N", "authMan": "N", "epmcAuthMan": "N", "nihAuthMan": "N", "hasTMAccessionNumbers": "N", "dateOfCreation": "2026-07-03", "firstIndexDate": "2026-07-04", "dateOfRevision": "2026-07-03", "electronicPublicationDate": "2026-07-03", "firstPublicationDate": "2026-07-03" }, { "id": "42032104", "source": "MED", "pmid": "42032104", "pmcid": "PMC13280152", "fullTextIdList": { "fullTextId": [ "PMC13280152" ] }, "doi": "10.1038/s41598-026-49597-7", "title": "A bioeconomic performance index for comparison of an experimental intensive aquaponic system with tilapia and tomato versus aquaculture and hydroponics.", "authorString": "De León-Ramírez JJ, Félix-Cuencas L, López-Tejeida S, García-Trejo JF, Sosa-Ferreyra CF.", "authorList": { "author": [ { "fullName": "De León-Ramírez JJ", "firstName": "Jesús Josafat", "lastName": "De León-Ramírez", "initials": "JJ", "authorAffiliationDetailsList": { "authorAffiliation": [ { "affiliation": "Facultad de Ingeniería, Universidad Autónoma de Querétaro, El Marqués, Querétaro, Mexico. leonjjrmz@gmail.com." } ] } }, { "fullName": "Félix-Cuencas L", "firstName": "Leticia", "lastName": "Félix-Cuencas", "initials": "L", "authorAffiliationDetailsList": { "authorAffiliation": [ { "affiliation": "Facultad de Ingeniería, Universidad Autónoma de Querétaro, El Marqués, Querétaro, Mexico." } ] } }, { "fullName": "López-Tejeida S", "firstName": "Samuel", "lastName": "López-Tejeida", "initials": "S", "authorAffiliationDetailsList": { "authorAffiliation": [ { "affiliation": "Facultad de Ingeniería, Universidad Autónoma de Querétaro, El Marqués, Querétaro, Mexico." } ] } }, { "fullName": "García-Trejo JF", "firstName": "Juan Fernando", "lastName": "García-Trejo", "initials": "JF", "authorAffiliationDetailsList": { "authorAffiliation": [ { "affiliation": "Facultad de Ingeniería, Universidad Autónoma de Querétaro, El Marqués, Querétaro, Mexico." } ] } }, { "fullName": "Sosa-Ferreyra CF", "firstName": "Carlos Francisco", "lastName": "Sosa-Ferreyra", "initials": "CF", "authorAffiliationDetailsList": { "authorAffiliation": [ { "affiliation": "Facultad de Medicina, Universidad Autónoma de Querétaro, Querétaro, Mexico." } ] } } ] }, "dataLinksTagsList": { "dataLinkstag": [ "altmetrics", "supporting_data" ] }, "journalInfo": { "issue": "1", "volume": "16", "journalIssueId": 4168316, "dateOfPublication": "2026 Apr", "monthOfPublication": 4, "yearOfPublication": 2026, "printPublicationDate": "2026-04-01", "journal": { "title": "Scientific reports", "medlineAbbreviation": "Sci Rep", "isoabbreviation": "Sci Rep", "issn": "2045-2322", "nlmid": "101563288", "essn": "2045-2322" } }, "pubYear": "2026", "pageInfo": "19098", "abstractText": "This study evaluates the bioeconomic performance index of an experimental intensive aquaponic system (IAS) integrating Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), in comparison with standalone aquaculture (AM) and hydroponic (HM) systems operated under identical greenhouse conditions. The systems were assessed at experimental scale over a 180-day production cycle using productive, environmental, and economic indicators integrated through a normalized Bioeconomic Performance Index (BPI) formulated as a benefit-to-resource ratio. Tilapia growth and feed conversion efficiency were comparable between IAS and AM, while water quality stability and nutrient use efficiencies were significantly higher in the integrated system (P < 0.05). Tomato yield was highest in the hydroponic system; however, crop production in the aquaponic system was achieved without synthetic fertilizers, relying exclusively on recycled aquaculture-derived nutrients. Although the IAS exhibited higher operating costs, mainly due to energy consumption associated with continuous water circulation and filtration, the combined production of fish and crops resulted in the highest net profit among the evaluated systems. The BPI indicated that the intensive aquaponic system achieved superior overall bioeconomic performance by balancing higher resource demand with gains in combined output and resource-use efficiency. Sensitivity analysis identified energy consumption as the dominant factor influencing bioeconomic performance, without altering system ranking. These results suggest that intensive aquaponics can represent a competitive alternative to conventional aquaculture and hydroponics when evaluated through an integrated bioeconomic framework,

increasing reliance on saline groundwater in arid regions, it is essential to assess how interacting abiotic stresses affect tomato growth, physiological performance, and productivity under different

This study aimed to evaluate selected abiotic factors (including light, temperature, humidity, and irrigation water salinity), typical of Middle Eastern groundwater, that interact to influence morpho-physiological traits and yield of tomato grown under greenhouse, net house, and open field systems. Tomato plants were cultivated under the three selected environments (greenhouse, net house, and open field), combined with four salinity levels (2-5 dS m⁻1). Growth, yield, and physiological traits were measured, including plant height, stem diameter, leaf number, fruit characteristics, yield per plant, and leaf chlorophyll indicators (SPAD and NDVI). Treatment effects were assessed statistically. Growth and yield traits exhibited significant interactive effects of environment and salinity, whereas SPAD and NDVI responded independently to each factor. Net house conditions under low salinity produced the highest fruit weight and yield, while higher salinity generally reduced performance, particularly under greenhouse conditions. Fruit weight showed strong positive relationships with vegetative growth parameters and fruit diameter. Increasing salinity consistently reduced SPAD and NDVI values, indicating declining photosynthetic capacity. Despite yield reductions under salinity stress, controlled environments partially mitigated physiological decline, with higher chlorophyll indices observed under low-salinity greenhouse conditions. SPAD and NDVI were positively correlated, confirming their consistency as indicators of plant physiological status. Salinity stress negatively affected tomato growth, physiology, and yield, with responses strongly modulated by environmental conditions.

performance in specialty crops. A two-year (2022-2023) factorial experiment (3 × 2), arranged in a completely randomized design, evaluated the interactive effects of nano humic acid-silicic acid-based Triple 20 NPK fertilizers (nano-NPK) applied at 40, 80, and 120 kg ha ⁻ ¹, with and without 0.3% salicylic acid (SA) as biostimulant, on processing tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L. cv. BHN 685) grown in a low-fertility soil under drip-irrigated, raised bed plasticulture. Conventional Triple 20 NPK fertilization at 120 kg ha ⁻ ¹ served as the control. Multivariate statistical analyses demonstrated that nano-NPK fertilization and SA, alone or in combination, significantly improved tomato yield components, water use efficiency (WUE), and fertilizer use efficiency (FUE), while reducing cull fruit and increasing marketable yield. Among treatments, 80 kg ha ⁻ ¹ nano-NPK combined with 0.3% SA produced both total and marketable yields equivalent to or exceeding those obtained with 120 kg ha ⁻ ¹ nano-NPK or conventional fertilization, alongside higher nutrient, and water utilization. These improvements were associated with enhanced nutrient bioavailability, uptake, and photosynthetic performance due to nano-enabled NPK fertilization, with SA further promoting plant growth and fruit quality. This combination reduced fertilizer input by up to 33% without compromising yield, achieving WUE and FUE comparable to or better than conventional NPK fertilization (120 kg ha-1). Economically, 80 kg ha ⁻ ¹ nano-NPK + 0.3% SA achieved the highest benefit-cost ratio (1.26) and net return (US $1,988 ha ⁻ ¹), outperforming conventional NPK fertilization. Environmental assessment indicated improved energy use efficiency (4-6%) and lower greenhouse gas (GHG) intensity per unit of marketable yield. Although total GHG emissions were statistically similar at higher application rates, nano-NPK, SA, or their combination reduced GHG intensity, highlighting their sustainability advantage. Overall, integrating 80 kg ha ⁻ ¹ nano-NPK with 0.3% SA optimizes yield, profitability, and environmental stewardship, offering an efficient pathway for sustainable intensification of tomato production.", "affiliation": "Soil, Water, and Bioenergy Resources, The Ohio State University South Centers, Piketon, Ohio, United States of America.", "publicationStatus": "epublish", "language": "eng", "pubModel": "Electronic-eCollection", "pubTypeList": { "pubType": [ "research-article", "Journal Article" ] }, "meshHeadingList": { "meshHeading": [ { "majorTopic_YN": "Y", "descriptorName": "Potassium" }, { "majorTopic_YN": "Y", "descriptorName": "Salicylic Acid", "meshQualifierList": { "meshQualifier": [ { "abbreviation": "PD", "qualifierName": "pharmacology", "majorTopic_YN": "N" }, { "abbreviation": "CH", "qualifierName": "chemistry", "majorTopic_YN": "N" } ] } }, { "majorTopic_YN": "N", "descriptorName": "Soil", "meshQualifierList": { "meshQualifier": [ { "abbreviation": "CH", "qualifierName": "chemistry", "majorTopic_YN": "N" } ] } }, { "majorTopic_YN": "Y", "descriptorName": "Fertilizers" }, { "majorTopic_YN": "Y", "descriptorName": "Solanum lycopersicum", "meshQualifierList": { "meshQualifier": [ { "abbreviation": "DE", "qualifierName": "drug effects", "majorTopic_YN": "N" }, { "abbreviation": "GD", "qualifierName": "growth & development", "majorTopic_YN": "N" } ] } } ] }, "chemicalList": { "chemical": [ { "name": "Fertilizers", "registryNumber": "0" }, { "name": "Soil", "registryNumber": "0" }, { "name": "Salicylic Acid", "registryNumber": "O414PZ4LPZ" }, { "name": "Potassium", "registryNumber": "RWP5GA015D" } ] }, "subsetList": { "subset": [ { "code": "IM", "name": "Index Medicus" } ] }, "fullTextUrlList": { "fullTextUrl": [ { "availability": "Subscription required", "availabilityCode": "S", "documentStyle": "doi", "site": "DOI", "url": "https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0348207" }, { "availability": "Open access", "availabilityCode": "OA", "documentStyle": "html", "site": "Europe_PMC", "url": "https://europepmc.org/articles/PMC13138637" }, { "availability": "Open access", "availabilityCode": "OA", "documentStyle": "pdf", "site": "Europe_PMC", "url": "https://europepmc.org/articles/PMC13138637?pdf=render" } ] }, "isOpenAccess": "Y", "inEPMC": "Y", "inPMC": "Y", "hasPDF": "Y", "hasBook": "N", "hasSuppl": "Y", "citedByCount": 0, "hasData": "Y", "hasReferences": "Y", "hasTextMinedTerms": "Y", "hasDbCrossReferences": "N", "hasLabsLinks": "N", "license": "cc by", "hasEvaluations": "N", "authMan": "N", "epmcAuthMan": "N", "nihAuthMan": "N", "hasTMAccessionNumbers": "Y", "tmAccessionTypeList": { "accessionType": [ "doi" ] }, "dateOfCompletion": "2026-07-16", "dateOfCreation": "2026-05-04", "firstIndexDate": "2026-05-13", "fullTextReceivedDate": "2026-05-20", "dateOfRevision": "2026-08-13", "electronicPublicationDate": "2026-05-04", "firstPublicationDate": "2026-05-04" }, { "id": "PPR1272918", "source": "PPR", "doi": "10.20944/preprints202607.0068.v1", "title": "Analysing Precision Agro-Business for Mixed Farming in Matabeleland South Region, Zimbabwe: Adding Value to Capital Investment", "authorString": "Oliver D, Charalee G.", "authorList": { "author": [ { "fullName": "Oliver D", "firstName": "Dube", "lastName": "Oliver", "initials": "D" }, { "fullName": "Charalee G", "firstName": "Graydon", "lastName": "Charalee", "initials": "G" } ] }, "pubYear": "2026", "abstractText": "This study examines whether organoponics-based mixed farming can provide a viable low-carbon pathway for improving productivity, profitability, and drought resilience in dryland smallholder systems in Matabeleland South, Zimbabwe. Using a quasi-experimental action-research design, the study compared tomato production in a tropical greenhouse organoponics system with that of open-field cultivation. It also assessed complementary maize organoponics and cattle pen-feeding practices. A renewable-energy irrigation scheme supplied water through a drip system, enabling controlled production under water-constrained conditions. The findings show that the greenhouse system substantially outperformed open-field cultivation in plant growth, health, yield, and commercial return, with first-cycle profit reaching $2,380 and later cycles projected to exceed $11,000 each under similar operating conditions. Maize intervention also demonstrated strong production and market potential, particularly when sold as green mealies. The livestock results showed that early and consistent pen-feeding reduced drought-related herd losses. The study concludes that integrated organoponics-based mixed farming can strengthen food security and economic resilience in dryland environments, but wider adoption will depend on targeted financing, farmer training, infrastructure, and improved market access.", "pubTypeList": { "pubType": [ "Preprint" ] }, "bookOrReportDetails": { "publisher": "Preprints.org", "yearOfPublication": 2026 }, "fullTextUrlList": { "fullTextUrl": [ { "availability": "Free", "availabilityCode": "F", "documentStyle": "doi", "site": "DOI", "url": "https://doi.org/10.20944/preprints202607.0068.v1" } ] }, "isOpenAccess": "N", "inEPMC": "N", "inPMC": "N", "hasPDF": "N", "hasBook": "N", "hasSuppl": "N", "citedByCount": 0, "hasData": "N", "hasReferences": "N", "hasTextMinedTerms": "Y", "hasDbCrossReferences": "N", "hasLabsLinks": "N", "versionList": { "version": [ { "id": "PPR1272918", "source": "PPR", "firstPublishDate": "2026-07-01", "versionNumber": 1, "pubTypeList": { "pubType": [ "preprint" ] }, "hasEvaluations": "N" } ] }, "versionNumber": 1, "hasEvaluations": "N", "authMan": "N", "epmcAuthMan": "N", "nihAuthMan": "N", "hasTMAccessionNumbers": "N", "dateOfCreation": "2026-07-09", "firstIndexDate": "2026-07-09", "firstPublicationDate": "2026-07-01" } ] } } }
