Low N tomato research

[templeton]

Came across this report while searching for storage tomato information. The tomato in question is a designated variety grown on the east coast of the heel of Italy, near Brindisi. Wish I had known when i was there last year .
I haven't downloaded the report or read it, but the abstract seemed interesting enough to post here.

Interesting! It would be interesting to know the effects of different nutrient regimes on fruiting and flavor profiles in the different cultivars.

Perhaps it's not surprising that plants selected over many generations on poor volcanic soils might be more efficient in nutrient utilization. Another set of extremely useful traits being lost in commercial varieties grown with chemical supplementation.
