Commercial tomato hybrids exhibit robust performance in modern high-input agricultural systems. However, their suitability for low-input farming remains uncertain. With the goal that by 2030, 25% of European production must be organic as part Green Deal, this study aims to assess whether existing commercial can offer a viable solution farming. Additionally, impact beneficial microorganisms such plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), relation growth and productivity under cultivation is assessed. For purpose, well-defined microbial consortium, including Azotobacter chroococcum, Clostridium pasteurianum, Lactobacillus plantarum, Bacillus subtilis, Acetobacter diazotrophicus, was applied liquid suspension enhance root colonization promote growth. Seven tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum L.) hybrids—the most popular Greek market—were evaluated (hydroponic) systems (with without use PGPR). Several parameters related yield, fruit quality, nutritional value, descriptive traits, leaf elemental concentration were evaluated. In addition, techno-economic analysis conducted developed conditions intended environments suit The results indicated are not viable, efficient, or profitable strategy cultivation. These findings underscore importance breeding varieties, specifically adapted farming, highlighting need targeted strategies sustainability resilience future Notably, among first comprehensively response conditions, addressing critical gap current literature.
