Abstract

The kingdom fungus is considered as an important component of biodiversity. Cercospora is one of the major genera in Hyphomycetes infecting mostly the aerial parts of host plants. They are widely prevalent and most destructive all over the country. Cercospora species causes leaf spots on most of the major flora. Cereals, pulses, vegetables, plantation crops, medicinal and aromatic plants and forest flora are also infected by Cercospora spp. There are various approaches used to manage the diseases caused by Cercospora such as cultural, chemical and biological. Presently, numerus systemic fungicides and protectants registered globally which may be used for the management of thease diseases. As a crop protection measure, spraying of these chemicals are required for 1–2 sprays, sometimes 6–7 per season depening on the climatic conditions and tolerance level of the variety grown. With the integration of chemical along with and other preventive cultural methods, a significant progress has been done in the area of disease management. In this review, symptomology and histopathology of Cercospora species; identification and new host records; spread and host range; effects of disease on crop growth and yield characterstics; development, dispersal and epidemiology; management; disease prediction models; molecular diagnosis along with genetic diversity and future directions have been covered.
