SUMMARY1 Tomato‐leaf mould may be held in check by attention to atmospheric temperature and humidity. 2 Varieties resistant to this disease are known, but they are not suitable for commercial work. Attempts are being made to breed varieties combining resistance with crop excellence. 3 The disease has been controlled by spraying with salicylanilide paste, sold under the name of “Shirlan Paste,” combined with a sul‐phonated oil sold as Agral I. 4 The above spray mixture has also proved effective against certain other diseases.
