Description The tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.), a member of Solanaceae family, originated in the west coastal plains of South America extending from Equador to Chile (Kinet and Peet, 1997). British are believed to have introduced it probably in early nineteenth (1828) century and promoted its cultivation in mid and lower hills of north lndia (Seshadri and Chatterjee, 1996). It's versatility in fresh or processed form has played a major role in its rapid and widespread adoption as an important food commodity. Presently, tomato is a widely cultivated and, largely consumed vegetable in the world and lndia. It occupies an area of 0.47 million hectares with productivity of 17.75 tonnes per hectare in India. Tomato is a major off-season vegetable crop of Himachal Pradesh especially in the mid hill zone. At present, annual production of tomato in the state is about 1,30,900 tonnes from an area of 4,500 hectares (Anonymous, 2000).
