Abstract: To explore the effects of biogas slurry coordinating chemical fertilizer on growth promotion of tomato, we used three kinds of typical biogas slurry as concentrated nutrient solution, respectively fermented from raw duck manure, pig manure, cow dung, while urea, monocalcium phosphate and potassium sulphate as auxiliary nutrition to balance the nutrient difference between different dilution ratios of biogas slurry. The results showed the biogas slurry partially substituting chemical fertilizer could significantly improve soil fertility, including available nitrogen, phospho-rus, and potassium. As for water soluble calcium, magnesium, iron, manganese and zinc in soil, biogas slurry application could activate their availability, with the magnitude of such effects depended on the fermentation level of raw materials and dilution ratio. Compared with chemical fertilizer, coordinating biogas liquid fertilizer significantly promoted the growth of tomato, with the yield increased by 55.9%-232.8% and the chemical fertilizer dosage decreased by 18.2%-85.0%. Furthermore, such effects became more prominent along with prolonged time. The fruit quality was significantly improved with the increases of lycopene, ascorbic acid and total sugar, and the decreases of acidity and nitrite concentration, and the decrease of NO2- by 35.6%-90.3%. In addition, the taste flavor of fruits was 7.0%-20.3% higher than that of chemical fertilizer treatment. The yield and quality of tomato took on nonlinear synchronization, and the relation between taste flavor and sugar/acid showed significantly positive correlation, which was affected by fertilizer type. Biogas slurry partly substituting chemical fertilizer could achieve the goals of high yield, high quality, environmental protection, efficient utilization of agricultural resources in tomato production.
