Review on the Effect of Climate Change on Tomato (Solanum Lycopersicon) Production in Africa and Mitigation Strategies

摘要: The tomato (Solanum lycopersicon) is one of the member Solanceae, or nightshade family, originated in South America and growing as a commercial crop around world. Despite its importance, production has been confounding by many biotic abiotic constraints. In this review, effect climate change on which belongs to under factors their mitigation strategies reviewed. possible changes context like increasing air atmospheric temperature, precipitation, concentration CO 2 , long-term water shortages, unsuitable soil conditions, disease pest outbreaks crops are expected have significant impact performance will serious our food security. As approved different findings, ameliorated achievable practicable selection area planting time, development cultivar tolerant though breeding farm management practice mulching, shading protected cultivation, using advanced irrigation technologies nutrient management. So, it important briefly understand researching, then developing demonstrating strategies. Keywords: Carbon dioxide (CO ), Drought, Temperature, Tomato leaf miner (TLM)
