Abstract
New instruments and methods developed at Rothamsted are proving to be of great value in studying the epidemiology of plant diseases. With their aid much has been learned about the infection requirements of potato blight and apple scab, and it has been possible to define more precisely than before when attacks start and how they progress, indicating the direction that further work in control of these diseases by fungicides should take.
