to assess resource use efficiency (RUE) and the environmental and socio-economic aspects of greenhouse and open-field tomato production. The DSS helps tomato growers and breeders improve RUE by reviewing and modifying management practices while meeting sustainable development criteria.

EASY TO USE
REAL-DATA VALIDATED
A purposely designed interactive interface to grant users smooth access to what is a complex evidence based DSS.
The DSS models were validated against data from greenhouse and open-field tomato production case studies within TOMRES.
VALUABLE OUTPUT
Reviewing tomato-production performance and suggesting management changes that improve resource use efficiency, environmental impact and socio-economic outcomes.
KNOWLEDGE DRIVEN
The DSS is a culmination of complex models built by expert contributions from multidisciplinary backgrounds.
The project TOMRES (“A novel and integrated approach to increase multiple and combined stress tolerance in plants using tomato as a model”) was co-funded by the European Union's Horizon 2020 programme.
TOMRES aimed to enhance tomato resilience to combined water and nutrient stress and maximize water (WUE) and nutrient use efficiency (NUE) by testing novel combinations of genotypes and management practices in open and protected fields while reducing environmental impact.
Crop management strategies were optimized and their environmental—including water quality—and socio-economic impacts assessed. Built on resource-efficiency data, the DSS supports field testing of genotype × management practices and their transfer to farmers.
