The unidentified disease/disorder recorded in Blantyre district's M'dala village has been finally identified as Tomato Leaf Miner (Tuta absoluta) using Plantix.

A close disease, Bacteria Canker, was dismissed.

It is almost what the government Agricultural Extension Development Officer (AEDO) suggested.

The farmer and the agent could not observe moths since they hide during daytime or the insect could be in larval or egg stages.

However, the agent may not be able to lend out Snowcron (which was advised by the AEDO) to the farmer since it has some environmental complications and the crop is near harvest - unless a further assessment today (24 October) shows more urgency and if there are no other better [insecticide] options such as Azaderachtin.

Despite having a less toxicity (WHO class II) Profenos, the main ingredient of Snowcron, has environmental threats.

A 2007 World Health Organization report found no adverse effects to workers of routine exposure to profenofos and no teratogenicity or carcinogenicity.

A United States Environmental Protection Agency report identified profenofos as toxic to birds, small mammals, bees, fish, and aquatic invertebrates, noting several fish kill incidents in which profenofos exposure, primarily due to runoff, was implicated as a probable cause.

Currently, the farmer will be recommended to remove affected parts and water the garden.
