Abstract
AbstractThe processes that determine tomato crop growth and yield are considered in detail, with emphasis on the influence of environmental factors such as light, CO2, temperature, humidity and salinity. The main topics are as follows: Biomass production (leaf area and light interception, leaf and crop photosynthesis); Crop and fruit growth; Biomass partitioning (source strength, transport path, sink strength, shoot:root ratio, and influence of growing conditions and cultural practices); Fruit dry matter content; and Crop growth models (describing the TOMSIM model for tomato growth, development and yield, and its use in 2 case studies on optimum fruit number/truss and mitigation of salinity effects on yield by improving LAI).
