The tomato is commercially important throughout the world both for
the fresh fruit market and the processed food industries. It is
grown in a wide range of climates in the field, under protection in
plastic greenhouses and in heated glasshouses. Genetic,
physiological and pathological investigations frequently adopt the
tomato plant as a convenient subject. Hitherto, much of the
information on tomatoes has been fragmented: tomatoes grown in the
field and under protection have been considered separately and the
more fundamental findings from research have often failed to reach
those involved directly or indirectly in commercial crop
production. Similarly, the research scientist is often unaware of
the problems of commercial crop production and the possible
relevance of his work to the crop. This book is an attempt to
rectify that situation. By giving a thorough scientific review of
all factors influencing tomato production systems, it is hoped that
this book will prove useful to students, researchers and commercial
producers alike. It gives the basis for the develop ment of
improved cultivars, the formulation of strategies for managing
pest, disease and disorder problems and the production of high
yields of good quality fruit as well as suggesting important areas
for scientific initiatives. The extensive bibliographies provide a
comprehensive database for tomato researchers. Such a vast subject
could not be covered with authority by anyone author."
