Abstract

For the successful growth and development of tomato, it is necessary to provide for as permitting environmental conditions as possible, so that physiological processes inside the plant could proceed freely, and that in the end it can give optimum crop in number and quality. The most influential environmental conditions are warmth, light and moist, which can equally have the negative effect on the growth and development of plant, if they are insufficient or exceeding certain limits.
Consequences of imbalance of external conditions are manifested in different ways on plants, which then react in certain symptoms. It happens sometimes that less experienced cultivators identify those symptoms with the symptoms of certain rots or pest invasion, and then they use some protection measurements without good reason.
This review has been written for the purpose of getting a better insight into particular physiological disorders during the growth and development of tomato and their symptoms on plants and fruits of tomato.
The review describes the effect of basic environmental conditions on the growth and development of tomato and physiological disorders on plants and fruits conditioned by abiotic factors.
