Black rot of carrot is economically very important disease in almost all carrot production areas. Disease is caused by plant pathogenic fungus, Alternaria radicina. The presence of Alternaria radicina is established in Serbia. A special attention is paid to this dangerus fungus since it produces toxic metabolites which are hazardous to human health. Symptoms on carrot can be noticed on mature roots, during or after harvesting, but significant infection and symptom development occur during storage. Black, sunken lesions and patches on the diseased carrot roots are usual disease symptoms during storage. Alternaria radicina is soil borne and transmitted by seed. Disease management should be integral but, neverheless carrot production must begin with healthy, pathogen tested seed.
