Abstract: After the comprehensive consideration of the effects of temperature and light on the development physiology of processing tomato, the intrinsic development factor (IDF) was introduced, and, through the analysis of the dynamic relationships between the development stages of different type processing tomato and related environmental factors, the simulation model for the development stages of processing tomato was constructed, based on the concept of physiological development time (PDTv). Different years’ experimental data about ecological zones, varieties, and planting modes were used to validate the model. The simulated results about the number of days from sowing to seedling emergence, flowering, fruitsetting, maturing, and ending accorded well with the observed ones, the root mean squared error (RMSE) being 1.09, 2.03, 2.05, 2.77 and 2.53 days, respectively, and the prediction accuracy of this model was significantly higher than that of the growth degree day (GDD)based model, with the corresponding RMSE being 1.90, 6.63, 6.33, 9.36 and 6.84 days, respectively.
