Two seedborne species of Alternaria i.e. A. sesami and A. sesamicola were isolated from infected seeds of sesame varieties PR-125, S-17, PR-19-9, and PR- 14-2. The frequency was highest from PR-125 (62.5%) followed by S-17 (45.0%). A. sesami was isolated as most predominant species according to its infection percentage. The dark brown lesions developed on 1-month old plants inoculated with A. Sesami. The typical dark brown colony growth with concentric rings occurred on V-8 juice agar. The maximum size and number of conidia were also obtained in V-8 juice agar followed by PDA, oatmeal agar and water agar leaf medium (WALM).
