Asked 21st Apr, 2014
Is this disease or insect pests?
These symptoms were found on the Cherry tomatoes. This is the first time I saw these. Can anyone identify them?

Raghavendra Achari，Stuart Reitz and Bhavin Mehta，Thank you all, and your suggestion give us in the right direction. Probably bacterial diseases, but won't be thrips, because the climate was not suitable.

This appears like bacterial fruit spot/canker of tomato (Typical oily surrounding spot). Can be controlled by spraying streptocyclin 500 mg + Copper Oxy Chloride (2-2.5 g) per liter
It could be bacterial. You should see similar symptoms on the foliage not just the fruit. Another possibility is thrips oviposition damage. Western flower thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis) oviposition can cause symptoms like this.
