Abstract
Tomato leaf mold, caused by the fungus Passalora fulva (Cooke) U. Braun & Crous (synonym Cladosporium fulvum), is a common and destructive disease on tomatoes worldwide, grown under humid conditions (Babadoost, 1989). Leaf mold is primarily a problem on greenhouse tomatoes.
Leaf mold was confirmed in Croatia in 1977 (Cvjetković, 1977). During 2006 and 2007, an extensive survey among the Croatian tomato growers was done.
Samples were taken from 7 counties on 15 locations.
The presence of Passalora fulva was confirmed in 5 counties on 7 locations.
Kochs postulates have been fulfilled.
Every location was presented in the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinate system (Horvat and al., 2003). The UTM coordinate system is a grid-based method of specifying locations on the surface of the Earth that is a practical application of a 2-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system.
It is used to identify locations on the Earth, but differs from the traditional method of latitude and longitude in several aspects.
The disease was mainly found in the hydroponic tomato crop production, on the tomato hybrid Belle.
