Use of the VegSyst model to simulate seasonal dry matter production, N and K uptake and evapotranspiration in greenhouse soil-grown tomato in Uruguay.
ABSTRACT.- The VegSyst model, initially developed for nitrogen (N) and irrigation recommendations for greenhouse-grown vegetable crops in southeastern Spain, was calibrated and validated for greenhouse tomato cultivated in soil in Uruguay (South America) for autumn and spring growing seasons. Additionally, the performance of the recalibrated VegSyst model was compared to the calibration for tomato grown in Almeria greenhouses of VegSyst model V3.
