SUMMARY A variable dew‐point chamber which simulates dew fall on plant parts within a temperature range of 1–35° C is described, with technical data on construction and performance. Although designed to obtain uniform infections of cereal leaves following their inoculation with rust uredospores in a settling tower, possible wider uses of the apparatus in biological research are discussed.
