Abstract

No single method or approach in current use is feasible, viable, stable, effective and economical in dealing with any host–pathogen system. Therefore, it is necessary to integrate all the methods of plant disease control, which are available, including cultural, chemical, biological and host resistance to effectively manage Alternaria diseases of brassicaceous plants (Eastburn 1989; Saharan 1992; Verma and Saharan 1994).
