Experiments to prevent or control the wilt disease with different substances were carried out. Favourable control effect was obtained with bimonthly foliar sprays of a 0.3 % CaCl2 solution, but it did not give vigorously growing plants. Best control and growth vigor in field plots occurred, however, when sea-shell grit (42 % CaO) was mixed into the tilled layer at a rate * m**3 (cubic metres) of approximately 1m**3 per 15m**3 susceptible soil. Feliar sprays of a 0.3 % Ca(N03)2 solution bimonthly, stimulated the vegetative development of the host and the incidence of bacterial wilting, even on sea-shell amended soils. This implies that nitrogen had a strong antagonistic effect on the absorption and translocation of calcium. Retarding the growth of tomato plants in the field by foliar application of a 2,000 ppm solution of CCC ((2-chloroethyl)-trimethylammoniumchloride) decreased both the host plant growth rate of bacterial for almost 3 weeks; thereafter the stem elongation of healthy plants and the amount of infected plants increased rapidly in time.
