| Use advice for data set | When utilizing this LCA dataset for research or optimization purposes, users should take into account the specific methodology used for data collection and measurement, including the static chamber method for nitrous oxide, the use of an Agilent 7890A gas chromatograph, and a TRAACS2000 flow analyzer for soil nitrate nitrogen and total phosphorus leaching. Heavy metal contents in organic fertilizers were determined using ICP-MS with appropriate digestion methods. The system boundary for the LCA is from cradle to farm gate, excluding infrastructure construction, agricultural machinery production, vegetable consumption, and waste emissions. Researchers should reference the detailed methods outlined in the provided literature when interpreting data and ensure that their applications are consistent with the experimental parameters and scope of the LCA. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | The dataset describes the use of a conventional arched greenhouse for the long-term cultivation of various vegetables, with a specific focus on eggplant production. The experiment investigates three cultivation treatments: conventional, integrated, and organic. This information is pertinent to agricultural research and can be applied in the study and improvement of vegetable production processes, particularly for eggplants within a controlled greenhouse environment. Additionally, the dataset could be of interest to producers and researchers looking to optimize greenhouse crop rotation and management techniques, or those focusing on the environmental impact of agricultural practices. |

| 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). |
