Intelligent systems to improve quality and productivity applied to tomato cultivation in greenhouses
Calypto is a project based on intelligent systems for improving quality and productivity applied to greenhouse tomato cultivation. It focuses on increasing the competitiveness of small and medium-sized producers who, due to technological gaps caused by the high cost of implementation and the need for adequate training, cannot benefit from the advantages of modernization in both management and economic control of operating costs.
Therefore, with the application of ICTs through tele-management systems focused on irrigation, plant and soil control, the aim is to improve the production and quality of tomatoes of small and medium-sized producers, optimizing the management and control of fertigation in cropping systems.
The expected result is an improvement in productivity and quality by at least 20%, as well as savings in water and fertilizers by more than 15%.
