In order to determine the status and the main problems of fertilizer application such as inputs of organic manure and chemical fertilizer,vegetable yield,etc.in greenhouse vegetable production,156 farmers greenhouses (greenhouse with wall,n=139; greenhouse without wall,n=17) were randomly picked out from seven counties,where the sown area of greenhouse vegetable in each county was more than 6 000 hm2 in Tianjin and Hebei province.The investigation showed that excessive fertilization was found in most greenhouses,and the inputs of N,P2O5 and K2O were respectively 2.5,10.4 and 2.5 times higher than those recommended amounts for greenhouse vegetable production in the survey area.The proportion of P2O5 in the total amount of fertilizers (organic manure + chemical fertilizers),organic manure and basal chemical fertilizers were all obviously too high,in which the N∶P2O5 ∶ K2O ratio was respectively 1∶1.05∶1.09,1∶1.50∶1.10 and 1∶1 .38∶0.92.The proportion of basal chemical fertilizer (sum of N,P2O5 and K2O) in the total chemical fertilizer consumed (basaldressing and topdressing) was up to 36.3%,indicating the rate of basal chemical fertilizer was obviously excessive.The principal recommendations were also presented in this paper that the total inputs of N,P2O5 and K2O should be reduced,the ratio of N,P2O5 and K2O and the basaldressing ratio of chemical fertilizers should be optimized,and the application strategy of P2O5 should be improved.
