“…The Fertirrigere DSS simulates water and nutrient (macronutrients) balance in the root zone and gives suggestions on the quantity of salts to be dissolved in the irrigation water for optimal fertigation management of processing tomatoes [54,55]. The application of Fertirrigere improved both the environmental and economic sustainability of crops in trials conducted under Mediterranean climate conditions [84].…”

Abstract:The use of fertigation, coupled with micro-irrigation, has continued to increase since it was first introduced in horticultural cropping systems. This combination provides a technical solution whereby nutrients and water can be supplied to the crop with high precision in terms of time and space, thereby allowing high nutrient use efficiency. However, the correct estimation of crop nutrient and water needs is fundamental to obtaining precise plant nutrition and high nutrient use efficiency in fertigated cropping systems. This paper illustrates the state-of-the-art and new perspectives for optimal nutrient management of vegetable crops cultivated under fertigation regimes. An overall description is reported for the most valuable technologies and techniques based on simulation models, soil testing, plant testing, and related decision support systems that can be adopted for efficient fertigation. However, it should be highlighted that only a few of the above technologies and techniques are practically available and/or easy to use by growers. Therefore, much more attention should be paid in the future to the transfer of research knowledge to farmers and technical advisors.

“…There is a wide variety of DSS's available which changes every year and ranges from relatively simple DSS with few data requirements such as VEGSYST (Gallardo 2013), which is well-suited for on-farm use, to more sophisticated DSS's that use more inputs. An example is the program FERTIRRIGERE introduced by Battilani et al (2003) …”

A two-day workshop was organised in Cologne in 2009 to discuss the subject and further give further support to the collaboration. Forty-five people from across Europe and from Canada attended this workshop. It was decided to pursue joint efforts in the field of organic protected horticulture, in with particular respect to planting material; soil fertility; composting; water management; disease and pest management;climate management and energy conservation; and sustainability. The group also agreed to submit a COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) Action on the same subject. By mid-2011 the proposal "Towards a sustainable and productive EU organic greenhouse horticulture" (or BioGreenhouse for short), was submitted.At the end of 2011 COST approved this proposal as COST Action FA1105 (see http://www.cost.eu/COST_Actions...

“…Efficient fertiliser management requires adequate tools such as an integrated approach to plant nutrition, while further work is needed to optimise the use of high-tech irrigation-fertilization systems (Battilani et al 2003). The main consideration, which must be kept in mind in planning measures to limit nitrate leaching, is that only a small proportion of the nitrogen applied to land is actually utilised by plants, in the cases about 40-45% and an even smaller proportion is contained in Lord et al 1999) the commercially harvested material (Davies 2000).…”

The relatively low cost of fertiliser and the increasing demand and competition for cheap food have encouraged the over-fertilisation of field vegetables over the past few decades. However, more recent scientific and public concern over eutrophication of water and the accumulation of nitrates in vegetables for human consumption requires a more effective use of nitrogen fertilisers in a more sustainable manner, which minimises the potential risk of negative effects on the environment and human health. In this review, we present the current state of the art in knowledge of N dynamic in vegetable crops and the latest advances in nutrient management, which could be used to mitigate nitrate losses from vegetables fields to the wider environment. Findings are based on published data and personal communications with researchers and consultants across Europe. Areas of research where further work is required are identified and described. A conclusive chapter reports on the economic and environmental impact of technology transfer of improved nitrogen management in three south European states and in the Netherlands.
