Abstract: The tomato crop is one of the most demanding of nitrogen fertilizers. This element on soil has an elevated mobility that can represent danger to the environment and reduces its efficiency. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the methodology for recommending nitrogen fertilizer for tutored tomatoes with a variable rate based on nitrogen sufficiency index. The treatments consisted of a reference plot and five treatments with the nitrogen sufficiency index calculated on spectral indexes NDVI, GNDVI, MCARI, PSSRa and the SPAD value. The productivity was evaluated considering the fruits size and viability. The descriptors of quality, color, soluble solids, total acidity, titratable acidity and flavor were also evaluated. All the indexes evaluated decreased significantly with the applied nitrogen during the cycle, the only exception being MCARI, which resulted in a similar nitrogen quantity to the reference. The NDVI, GNDVI, PSSRa and SPAD value indexes presented a total applied nitrogen decrease varying from 25.2% to 43.8%, neither reducing significantly the productivity nor the fruits quality. The marketable fruits productivity varied from 2332.9 to 2773.8 g.plant−1 among treatments. Only the NDVI and the SPAD value presented significant improvements on the partial factor of nitrogen productivity, among the applied treatments.
