2.5. Diagnostic Notes **Disease** Tomato leaf mould. Velvety brown to olive-green mould growth on lower surface of leaves. In severe cases flowers, and occasionally the fruit, are also attacked. First symptom is a pale yellow mottling on the upper surface of the leaf, with corresponding pale areas on the lower surface. Infected areas coalesce and the infected leaf dies.

**Morphology** _Conidiophores_ usually on lower leaf surface, less than 100 µm long, 2–4 µm thick near base, 7–8 µm at the unilateral nodes which may proliferate as short lateral branches, sometimes branched near the base, multi- septate, pale to olivaceous brown, flexuous, with thickened spore scars on the nodes. _Conidia_ in chains which are sometimes branched, 12–47 × 4–10 µm, 0–3-septate, sometime slightly constricted at septa, pale olivaceous to dark brown, smooth, straight or slightly curved, cylindrical to ellipsoid, thickened and sometimes slightly protuberant spore scar at base and/or apex.
