Abstract
Tomato is one of the most popular and widely grown vegetables throughout the world either in outdoors or indoors because of its wider adaptability and versatility. Tomato is usually produced during the winter season in India and fruit production is gradually dropped as the temperature increases by the end of the winter season. In summer due to high temperatures, tomato production almost ceases and shortage of tomatoes is common.
