Objectives

To reduce the environmental impact of agriculture, one of the levers is to increase the efficiency of the inputs. Many studies have been conducted on nitrogen, on the contrary the references to manage P and K inputs in vegetable production are scarce. This project has three main objectives: - describing the performance of a range of genotypes under reduced P and K inputs, - identifying plant characteristics that are well correlated with plant performance under reduced P and K inputs, - develop a techinical frame of reference for P and K fertilisation on tomato and lettuce crops

Activities

The project is composed of several activities: - aerial and root phenotyping of young plants of tomato and lettuce under contrasted levels of P and K, - assessment of the performance of  tomato varieties and rootstock under contrasted levels of P and K during tomato production, - identification of characteristics and genes associated to a higher efficiency of absorption and use of K in tomato, - development of the technical frame of reference for P and K inputs in tomato and lettuce crops

Le premier résultat attendu à l'issu du projet est l'identification de caractères phénotypiques (sur laitue et tomate) et génotypiques (sur tomate) associés à l'efficience des variétés pour le P et le K, qui permettront ensuite de faciliter l'identification de variétés efficientes. Le second résultat attendu est une liste de variétés efficientes pour l'absorption et l'utilisation du P et du K pertinentes pour les systèmes bas-intrant. Enfin, le troisième résultat attendu est une méthodologie et un référentiel technique basés sur des mesures d'évaluation des quantités de P et de K biodisponibles dans le sol (tests standards : P olsen et K échangeable)  pour la diminution des apports de P et K en culture de laitue et de tomate. Cette méthodologie et ce référentiel pourront à l'avenir alimenter un outil d'aide à la décision pour le pilotage de la fertilisation P et K en culture de laitue et de tomate.
