Abstract

The incidence of fungal rot diseases of tomato and brinjal showed significant variation in different areas/localities of Srinagar, Pulwama, Anantnag and Kulgam of Kashmir surveyed during study. Incidence and severity of fungal rot of tomato and brinjal caused by several pathogenic fungi was from lowest to highest in all the surveyed districts of Kashmir Valley. Among the isolated fungi Aspergillus niger, Mucor plumbeus, Alternaria alternata and Penicillium expansum were found most commonly responsible for fungal rot of tomato and brinjal. The incidence and severity showed considerable increase during the period of study in Srinagar, Pulwama, Anantnag and Kulgam districts of Kashmir Valley and thus warrants effective management strategies. Such types of study have been carried out for the first time in the valley.
