Summary
Thirty tomato varieties or lines were ranked for resistance in the field during an experimentally-induced epiphytotic of early blight caused by Alternaria solani. After inoculation, the percent foliage diseased was estimated at weekly intervals. The epiphytotic was severe and the apparent rate of disease increase ranged from 0.169 to 0.432 per unit per day. A stem-end fruit rot caused by the same fungus was severe on some varieties, but its occurrence was not necessarily associated with the amount of early blight on the foliage.
