Symptoms of disease shows that the spots were sphagenous, the entire leaf became brown and the spots were of lighter shade than the surrounding parts. The hyphye measured from 1-4.5 micron in diameter and conidiophores measured 3-10 micron. During the studies carried out In-vivo, to see the development of fungus under various fungicide treatments. It was observed that Ridomil remained on top among various fungicides in reducing Alternaria brassicae population, although all fungicides reduced disease as compared to control but remained at par with Ridomil.
