| Use advice for data set | When utilizing this data set for Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), users should adhere to the specific methodological guidance provided for inventory analysis, impact assessment, and result interpretation stages. Attention should be paid to the system boundaries set from cradle to farm gate, ensuring to exclude infrastructure construction, agricultural machinery production, vegetable consumption, and waste emissions processes. The methodological advice includes using static chamber methods for collecting nitrous oxide emissions and ICP-MS for analyzing heavy metals in organic fertilizers. It is imperative to reference the detailed analytical procedures as documented in the indicated literature to ensure accuracy and consistency with the original research methodologies. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | The data set represents the conventional production of vegetables in a long-term positioning experiment conducted in Qu Zhou's greenhouse facility. The information is applicable for analyses focusing on the environmental impact and resource usage in conventional vegetable cultivation practices, specifically pertaining to eggplant growth. It may be used in agricultural studies, governmental policymaking, and industrial agricultural planning to understand the environmental implications of using conventional, integrated, and organic methods. |

| General comment on data set | The solar greenhouse used in the experiment is an arch type with a length of 60 m and a width of 7 m. In the greenhouse, a variety of vegetables were rotated (two crops a year). In this study, eggplant seeds grew from March to August every year, and the experiment was carried out for the period of 4 years (2013 to 2016). Three treatment modes were set up in the experiment: (1) Conventional mode: the traditional greenhouse management mode of local farmers was adopted, mainly chemical fertilizer was applied, and a small amount of organic fertilizer was applied. ② Comprehensive mode: the amount of organic fertilizer and chemical fertilizer applied is 50% of the amount applied in organic and conventional mode, respectively. The biological control method is mainly used for disease and pest control, and low-toxicity and low-residue chemical pesticides are used for treatment in severe cases. (3) Organic mode: According to the production standards of organic vegetables, only organic fertilizers (compost and chicken manure) are applied, and chemical fertilizers and pesticides are not used. Agricultural measures and physical control of pests and diseases are mainly used (such as using yellow board to lure and kill, insect control nets, etc.). The nitrogen application amount of the integrated and organic models was the same as that of the normal scale model, and the irrigation conditions of each treatment were consistent. The irrigation method was large flood irrigation (Table 1). |
