Description Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.), a solanaceous vegetable originated in Peruvian and Mexican region (Tigchelaar, 1986) is one of the most important vegetable crops grown throughout the world. It is suggested that the name tomato came from the Nahuatl language of Mexico. In France the tomato fruit was called "pomme d'amour" or love apple. In Italy it was called "pomi d'amour" or "golden apple". Following its European introduction and acceptance, tomato cultivation spread throughout the world, especially during the 20th century. Britishers are believed to have introduced it probably in early nineteenth (1828) century and promoted its cultivation in mid and lower hills of north India. (Seshadri and Chatterji, 1996). Its versatility in fresh and processed form has played a major role in its rapid growth and widespread use. The leading tomato growing countries in the world arc U.S.A., China and several European countries.
