The production efficiency and quality of tomatoes is affected by the mode of irrigation and the nitrogen forms. This study explored the impacts of different irrigation regimes, nitrogen forms, and their coupled effects on tomato production. The various irrigation regimes were set at 50%FC~90%FC (W1), 60%FC~90%FC (W2), 70%FC~90%FC (W3), and 80%FC~90%FC (W4) Furthermore, the control (CK) group followed a conventional drip irrigation regime in the local area. Nitrogen forms in this study comprised urea-based fertilizer (urea N 32%, F1), nitrate-based fertilizer (calcium ammonium nitrate N 15%, F2), and ammonium-based fertilizer (ammonium sulfate N 21%, F3). Combining these two factors yielded 15 treatment groups. The experiment was conducted in a solar greenhouse, and the soil type was sandy loam soil. The research focused on observing the yield, quality, and water–fertilizer use efficiency of tomatoes under these 15 treatment groups. The results demonstrate that irrigation had a more significant impact on the yield and nutrient accumulation rate compared to the nitrogen forms. To comprehensively evaluate the yield, quality, and water–fertilizer use efficiency of tomatoes, a combination evaluation method was employed. W3F2 produced the highest yield, CKF2 achieved the highest comprehensive quality score, and W2F2 had the highest comprehensive water and fertilizer use efficiency score. Using the fuzzy Borda model, the evaluation information of the three dimensions was combined. W3F2 ranked first, suggesting the adoption of an irrigation control regime of 70%FC to 90%FC, along with the application of nitrate-based nitrogen fertilizer during the fruit set to the harvest stage. It presented the best performance of tomato yield, quality, and water–fertilizer use efficiency across multiple dimensions.
