Exploring dynamic nitrogen (N) fertigation guided by multispectral sensors: a sustainable optimization of N fertilization in processing tomato

Dynamic management of nitrogen (N) guided by multispectral sensors can help match in-season crop N requirements with precise N supply through fertigation. In the present work, different dynamic strategies to optimise N fertigation in processing tomatoes were explored in two plot experiments across two different years and locations, compared with a well-fertilised control (180 kg N ha-1, N180). In dynamic N strategies, the green vegetation index (GVI) was monitored with a hand-held multispectral radiometer.

Practice Abstract: “How to produce mushrooms inside a shipping container in an urban environment”

Urban agriculture has long been identified as a valid solution to guarantee food security and the creation of small profitable businesses in developing and non-developing countries. As is known, the number of inhabitants in cities has recently exceeded the number of inhabitants in rural areas, resulting in an extension of the concrete surface and a greater distance from food supply areas.
