The study was carried out in the greenhouses of the Research Center for the Study of the Quality of Horticultural Products, within the USAMV of Bucharest, Romania, on a tomato crop, the cultivar Cheramy F1, carried out in an unconventional system on a coconut substrate. The effect of temperature variation on the growth, development and yield of the tomato crop (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) was studied. The observations made on tomato plants led to the conclusion that temperatures above the optimal parameters, especially in the period from May to July, determined the formation of leaves with a smaller leaf surface but also a decrease in fruiting, therefore lower production which led when clearing the crop because it was ineffective. The aim of the study was to identify the effect of temperature variations on the vegetative mass formed and tomato production.
