A droplet inoculation method was used for evaluation of tomato resistance to early blight, a destructive foliar disease of tomato caused by Alternaria solani (Ellis and Martin) Sorauer. In this test method, leaflets are inoculated with small droplets of a spore suspension in either water or a 0.1% agar solution. Early blight resistance was evaluated based on lesion size.
