Growth, N uptake, light interception and leaf photosynthetic activity were studied in processing tomato (cv. PS1296) grown in the field in Central Italy, during 1996-97, and treated with different levels of N fertilizer (0, 50, 100, and 200 kg/ha). N supply greatly increased crop growth and N uptake. Plant N concentration declined during the entire crop cycle.
