Abstract
Tomato is India's third most important horticultural crop, yet it is affected by a variety of abiotic causes. Blossom end rot, fruit cracking (radial and concentric cracking), puffiness, sunscald, blotchy ripening, and other physiological diseases harm the crop. This article will help growers in understanding various physiological disorders that impact the crop, and the corrective measures to take in order to develop a nutritious crop.
