Optimising Nitrogen (N) inputs for dwarf tomato cultivation in protected cropping

<p dir="ltr"><b>Experiment goals:</b></p><p dir="ltr">This experiment aims to optimise nitrogen (N) fertilizer application rates for the dwarf tomato variety <i>Micro Tom</i>. The objective is to promote more uniform fruit ripening and accelerate cultivation cycles. Plants were grown using three distinct nitrogen concentrations (3, 6, and 30 mM) in a 35:65 coco coir-perlite substrate mix.</p><p dir="ltr"><b>Dataset:</b></p><p dir="ltr">The dataset is organised into eight directories, each representing a key aspect of the experimental process:</p><ul><li>Plant_Information - Contains unique plant identifiers and associated metadata.</li></ul><ul><li>Environmental_Growth_Conditions - Records of controlled environmental settings used during plant growth.</li></ul><ul><li>Feeding - Records of the watering and / or feeding events referencing to the nutrient recipes.</li></ul><ul><li>Harvesting - Destructive harvest data including yield, fresh and dry organ biomass.</li></ul><ul><li>Images - Time-series images capturing various growth stages of individual plants.</li></ul><ul><li>Measurements - Morphological trait measurements such as plant height, width, and branch number.</li></ul><ul><li>Nutrient_Recipe - Detailed chemical composition of each nutrient recipe.</li></ul><ul><li>Potting - Information on individual plant containers and substrate composition.</li></ul><p></p>
