Abstract: Variety trial programs are essential to identify the most suitable cultivars across different environmental conditions. In the present study, multi-environmental trials on processing tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) were set up in three representative locations in Italy, replicating a randomized block design across 2021 and 2022, to quantify the effect of growing season, site, and cultivar on selected traits. A comprehensive assessment of four widespread processing cultivars was performed considering their yield performance, technological quality, and biochemical quality indicators. Overall, the growing site factor and its interactions had major impacts on the biochemical profile, particularly simple sugars, organic acids, carotenoids, and volatiles. Yield-related and technological traits were mainly influenced by the growing season, location, and their interactions. Genotype plus Genotype by Environment interaction (GEE) and Additive Main effects and Multiplicative Interaction (AMMI) analyses revealed diverging stability indicators among the four cultivars, especially for key tomato traits such as marketable yield, soluble solids, ascorbic acid, and lycopene contents. These results suggest that breeding efforts have historically focused on developing region-specific tomato cultivars. Moreover, breeding for climate-resilient and adaptive varieties may help farmers to mitigate significant annual fluctuations in yield and quality, ensuring stable profits across growing seasons. • Four hybrids of processing tomatoes were evaluated over two seasons in three fields. • Significant compositional changes were found between years and fields. • The main variation among genotypes was found for phenols composition. • A number of 13 of 26 detected tomato VOCs significantly changed between years and fields. • Good amounts of ascorbic acid and phenols and low levels of carotenoids were evaluated.
