Cover Story: Since tomato is a high nitrogen (N)-demanding vegetable, N fertilizers have often been used in excess by farmers to improve commercial yield and the profitability of processing tomato crops with few concerns about environmental issues. However, N fertilization greatly affects the overall tomato quality, including technological traits, nutritional characteristics, and mineral fruit composition. The aim of this work was to study the effects of increasing mineral N fertilization rates on processing tomato yield and quality under growing conditions in Southern Italy. View this paper
