===Hydroponic and greenhouse cultivation===

Tomatoes are often grown in [[greenhouse]]s in cooler climates, and indeed there are cultivars such as the British 'Moneymaker' and a number of cultivars grown in [[Siberia]] that are specifically bred for indoor growing. In more [[Temperate|temperate climates]], it is not uncommon to start seeds for future transplant in greenhouses during the late winter as well. With the transplanting of tomatoes, there is a process of hardening that the plant must go through before being able to be placed outside in order to have greater survival.

[[Image:Tomatplanta.JPG|thumb|left|Young tomato plant]]There are a great many tomato [[cultivar]]s grown for various purposes. This section attempts a listing of some of the more common cultivars. Heirloom cultivars are becoming increasingly popular, particularly among home gardeners and organic producers, since they tend to produce more interesting and flavorful crops at the possible cost of some disease resistance. Hybrid plants remain common, however, since they tend to be heavier producers and sometimes combine unusual characteristics of heirloom tomatoes with the ruggedness of conventional commercial tomatoes.

Tomato cultivars are roughly divided into several categories, based mostly on shape and size. "Slicing" or "globe" tomatoes are the usual tomatoes of commerce; [[beefsteak tomato]]es are large tomatoes often used for sandwiches and similar applications; [[plum tomato]]es, or paste tomatoes, are bred with a higher solid content for use in [[tomato sauce]] and [[tomato paste|paste]]; and cherry tomatoes are small, often sweet tomatoes generally eaten whole in salads.
