Tomato (Lycopersiconesculentum Mill.) is one of the vegetables with the highest production in the world and its production is increasing all over the world. Tomatoes contribute to a healthy, well-balanced diet. Temperature affects plant growth balance, flower development and pollination, fruit growth and development, thus has substantial influence on fruit quality.
Solar radiation and temperature have a large influence on fruit sugar accumulation. The best quality and long life storage for tomato product the research is required through incorporation of pre-harvesting as well as post-harvesting practices taking other factors under consideration in the specific locations. Day and night temperature and the variation between the two has pronounced effect on growth, flowering, fruiting and yield of fruits and seeds in Tomato, but the night temperature is a critical factor for fruit set in Tomato.

CHAPTER ONE - [ Total Page(s): 2 ]INTRODUCTION1.1 Background of the studyTomato (Lycopersiconesculentum Mill.) is one of the vegetables with the highest production in the world and its production is increasing all over the world. Tomato is rich in minerals, vitamins, essential amino acids, sugars and dietary fibers (Ayandiji et al., 2011). World tomato production in 2001 was about 105 million tons of fresh fruit from an estimated 3.9 million ha. As it is a relatively short duration crop and gives a high yield, it is economically ...
