The inhibitive effects of garlic bulb crude extract on Fulvia fulva in tomato were studied. The results indicated that the inhibitive rate to spore germination reached 96.08% when the concentration was 40 mg ml-1 and to mycelia growth increased to 100% when the concentration was 80 mg ml-1. When the concentration was 80 mg ml-1, the preventive and curative effects of different kinds of tomato leaves in vitro were 85.32 and 83.49% in young leaves, 76.50 and 68.91% in function leaves, 69.92 and 69.36% in bottom leaves. In pots trial, the preventive and curative effects on tomato seedlings reached 82.19 and 79.37%, respectively when increased to 160 mg ml-1. It was also observed that the higher concentrations of garlic bulb crude extract did not affect the growth of tomato. In conclusion, the garlic bulb crude extract is effective and environmental friendly control of leaf mold that is caused by F. fulva.
