Notes

Early blight of potatoes and tomatoes caused by Alternaria solani is more common in the southern part of the North Island and in the South Island than in the Auckland Province. Atkinson et al. (1949) described the disease; Blair (1957) recorded an outbreak of tomato wilt due to Alternaria solani in the Christchurch area. It is controlled by fungicides applied to control Phytophthora infestans; where fungicides are not applied as a routine programme it may cause considerable damage.
