    Gray mold (Botrytis cinerea Persoon: Fries) is one of the most important diseases of tomato. In production areas, control is inadequate because the onset of the disease coincides with harvest. In addition, pesticide-resistant fungi have emerged, so care must be taken in selecting chemicals. A daily mist spray of a Bacillus formulation from a mist nozzle on an overhead spray device was found here to delay or suppress the onset of disease. Manual spraying with a fungicide that is less likely to lead to pesticide-resistant fungi is also necessary in combination with the misting, but regular spraying with a Bacillus formulation can reduce the frequency of manual spraying. Misting with potassium bicarbonate was also effective as an overhead fungicide. Alternating application of Bacillus and potassium bicarbonate at 1-week intervals was effective in suppressing the incidence of tomato gray mold. In addition to misting, the use of watering tubes for the overhead spraying equipment was effective and costs less to install.
