Description
Climate change is expected to intensify droughts in Navarre, affecting key crops such as processing tomatoes. This situation demands new irrigation strategies that optimize water use without compromising production. TOMADAP addresses this need by evaluating the Water Use Efficiency (WUE) of Controlled Deficit Irrigation (CDI). The project aims to improve water efficiency and adapt the crop to more extreme climatic conditions without generating water stress.
Contextual description
Seeking innovative and sustainable solutions that allow maintaining current tomato production levels while strengthening their capacity to adapt to climate change and optimizing the use of irrigation water, which is essential to preserving ecosystems and ensuring long-term food security.
Results
It has been demonstrated that the RDC has a higher WAU (67 kg/m3) compared to conventional irrigation management (53 kg/m3), with a 25% water saving and a 6% yield loss. Results transferred to the agricultural sector.
