Abstract

The following dataset was used for the publication "Exploring dynamic nitrogen (N) fertigation guided by multispectral sensors: a sustainable optimization of N fertilization in processing tomato" (DOI doi.org/10.1016/j.scienta.2025.114124). The dataset includes the data collected from the on-field validation of different dynamic nitrogen (N) fertilisation strategies in processing tomato cultivation guided by a multispectral sensor. The experiment was carried out in Bologna (BO, Italy) in 2023, where five fertilization strategies (including a well fertilized control with 180 kg N ha-1) where four times replicated and randomized in the experimental field according to a complete randomized design. The reader is invited to read the specific published paper to discover in detail the different fertilization strategies. The data were generated in the framework of the “FrontAg Nexus” project and also received funding from the European Union Next-GenerationEU (PIANO NAZIONALE DI RIPRESA E RESILIENZA (PNRR) – MISSIONE 4 COMPONENTE 2, INVESTIMENTO 1.4 – D.D. 1032 17/06/2022, CN00000022) within the Agritech National Research Center
