Development of a model based decision support system to optimise nitrogen use in horticultural crop rotations across europe

Objectif

Most fresh vegetable production within Europe relies heavily on large inputs of fertiliser or organic N sources to maintain the yield and quality of produce. Field vegetable crops often Use N inefficiently and leave large residues of N in the soil after harvest, which can cause damage to soil, water and aerial environments. This project will provide growers and policy makers with a decision support system for N management and rotational planning to optimise N use efficiency and economic sustainability in both conventional and organic systems of vegetable production across Europe. This will help Member States to:
a) minimise hazards to the environment (91/676/EEC) by adopting consistent approaches to improve efficiency of nitrogen use for different production systems and climatic regions of Europe; and
b) optimise production of quality crops while enhancing the economic sustainability of horticultural production.
