Alternaria Diseases of Crucifers: Biology, Ecology and Disease Management

Abstract

Alternaria blight caused by four species of Alternaria is known by several names (synonyms) on the basis of colour, shape, size and location of lesions on different parts of cruciferous host species. General symptoms are similar on all plant hosts with minor variations influenced by environmental conditions, host species, genotypes, nutritional conditions and pathotypes. Pathotype-specific symptoms can be observed on Brassica genotypes. The disease is widely distributed all over the world wherever the congenial environmental conditions and host–pathogen interaction occur. Its host range is very wide ranging from oil-yielding Brassica to vegetables and a large number of cruciferous weeds. The disease causes heavy yield losses in the form of quality and quantity of cruciferous crops (11–100 %). The disease incidence and intensity can be accessed through various keys, scales and diagrams and using modern techniques including remote sensing, video image and PCR. Host resistance and categorization of Brassica genotypes for breeding resistance varieties can be done through internationally acceptable procedures and methods suggested in this chapter. Sometimes, under field conditions, symptoms of mixed infections of Alternaria blight, powdery mildew and white rust can be observed on B. juncea leaves.
