The sugar content of tomatoes is lower than any other fruit and therefore it is classified as a vegetable for culinary purposes. Biological Family Tomatoes, ‘Aubergines’ (Eggplant), Capsicum Peppers, Capsicum ‘Anuum’ (hot pepper) and potatoes are grown in a similar way and belongs to the ‘Solanaceae’ (Nightshade family).

(1986), tomato is a type of plant from the family of Solanaceae. There are many tomato species around the world. The tomato is not easy to plant in Malaysia and it is also very important as a food for the citizen. This tomato plant is easy to cultivate in area which is in moderate temperature and firstly came from the place which is in dry west coast of tropical South America (Cooper, 1972). According to Picken, Stewart, and Klapwijk (1986), there are several techniques for growing tomato plant which
experiment is to investigate the tolerance level of grey water in tomato plants and what effect the gray water will have on the environment? Hypothesis The hypothesis is that plants are able to tolerate small amount of detergent, but after the detergent solution reach it’s threshold level, it can affect the plant’s growth, ultimately resulting in the plants death. Background Water is essential to the all life on earth, including plants. But with the growth of population, humans are facing more
genetically modified foods. Biotechnologies used to genetically modify foods have contributed to the controversial statements, whether or not genetically modified foods should be available for human consumption. Genetic Modified plants and foods such as the “Flavr Savr Tomato” enhanced through the use of biotechnologies have sparked arguments in favour and against. Those in favour consider that they are advantageous for humans, those against believe that it is detrimental for human consumption and altering
and Medical Science, mainly trying to study the effective components which can prevent heart disease in edible vegetables. Lycopene Lycopene is a member of the carotenoids pigment family that conveys bright red color to many plants. Its name is obtained primarily from tomato. Lycopene is currently considered one of the most efficient antioxidants, protecting against free radicals that accelerate aging and damage critical parts of the cell (Liu, 2008). Recent studies have shown an inverse relationship
edible fruit, which is eaten as a vegetable or in a salad. The argument has been up for discussion if a tomato is a fruit or vegetable. Scientifically speaking a tomato is a fruit. Fruits develop from the ovary in the base of the flower and contain the seeds of the plant. But some may say that a tomato is a vegetable because they are used in savory rather than sweet when cooking. Tomato plants are vines and they have two basic ways of growing, determinate and indeterminate. The vines of determinate
Growing Tomatoes Tomato is one of the most popular homegrown fruit plant; it goes by many names such as wolf apple, tamata, love apple, among others. Their exist many varieties and classifications of tomatoes among them are Roma, Cherokee purples, and Creole, and varieties such as heirloom, red tomatoes and cherry and grape tomatoes. Tomatoes typically take between 75 and 95 days to mature; a healthy tomato yield requires the plantation of a variety of the plant. Homegrown tomato fruits are usually
even taste good compared to a decade ago. Tomato growing methods have dramatically changed in recent years. The commercially grown tomatoes are usually cultivated in polytonal in a warmer country or in glasshouses like in the UK and Europe and these can range in size from a scaled-up versions of a traditional greenhouse to a massive constructions covering hundreds of acres like in Spain. The cultivation within these glasshouses is normally to plant the tomato vines in soil. But when tomatoes are cultivated
more beneficial, an experimental investigation has been set up to test the effects of solid and liquid fertiliser on the growth of a tomato plant. Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium are the three most important nutrients required for a plant’s survival. Nitrogen, an element found in all cells, is a major part of all amino acids (Bozeman, 2004) and is essential for plant growth and fruit production (CS, Unknown). In a process called Nitrogen fixation, dinitrogen (N2) is converted into ammonia (NH3)

to hate the words "industrial farming". To me organic food seems like the ideal food choice. This article has challenged my original philosophy on industrial food. Expecting the worst, the author of this article visited an industrial farm to see a tomato operation. The Bruce Rominger's farm was different than many other industrial farms. For instance it grows more than just corn and soybeans. Instead it grows 6,000 acres of tomatoes, wheat, sunflowers, safflower, onions, alfalfa, sheep, rice and
toppings available. Most pizzas came with cheese, pepperoni and a watery tomato sauce. The tortillini had soft, medium-length, hollow noodles with more watery tomato sauce. Another favorite at the cafe was the lasagna which was unbelievably delicious. After having tasted the pizzas and the tortillini, I was not exp ecting the lasagna to be so tasty. The lasagna was packed full of hot meat, zesty cheese, and a tangy tomato sauce. It was not out of the ordinary to see Italians, instead of eating
Introduction The fresh fruit and vegetable is important and remarkable point in supply chain. The fresh fruit and vegetable supply chain is characterized by many national and international small and medium-sized enterprises at the production stage. And also the consumer demand for fresh fruits and vegetables all over the year is a special challenge of this chain and this chain strongly impacts all of the particularities. Therefore, the adoption of new Technologies and new opportunities for improving
Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café, one of my finest works. Who am I? I am the author Fannie Flagg. I’ve been writing since the fifth grade, when I wrote, produced, directed and starred in a three-act comedy titled “The Whopee Girls”. It made the audience laugh, but it got me expelled because it had the word “martini” in it. I’ve always had dry wit. I then entered a Miss Alabama contest winning a scholarship to the Pittsburg Playhouse. I was the only girl who failed ballet. When I was

Crop production relies heavily on pollinators for high yields. Animals account for the pollination of approximately 88% of plants; 68% of all global crops rely on animals (mostly insects) for pollination. Managed bees, mainly honey bees (Apis mellifera), are commonly used to provide pollination services. However, alternative native or the locally and naturally-available bees that are not formally managed may also provide significant contributions to crop pollination. There is a general decline in
Denise Uyehara the playwright and actress performed a solo piece “Hello Sex Kitty” that delved into the issues of “sexuality, dating, domestic violence, and the AIDS epidemic by portraying several vastly different caricatures of Asian women and men” (Lee 173). She relates these issues to the female identity through a comedic, sexual, and realism performance. Denise Uyehara broke down the fourth wall and included audience participation in her performance in order to further involve the audience in
