Description The cultivated tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.), a member of family Solanaceae has originated in Peruvian and Mexican regions (Tigchelaar, 1986). 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 Chatterjee, 1996). Tomato is one of the most important vegetable crop in the world, not only because of its volume but also because of its overall contribution to nutrition (Hobson and Grierson, 1993). A day's requirement of calcium is present in a medium sized tomato fruit and its protein content is same as that of mother's milk. Furthermore tomato is a rich source of lycopene which is a powerful antioxidant that scavenges free radicals and have a high protective effect against cancer (Watzman, 2002).
