Abstract
Alternaria blight, caused by the fungal pathogen Alternaria brassicae, is a significant disease affecting Brassica crops worldwide, leading to considerable yield losses. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of Alternaria blight, covering its introduction, pathogen profile, and characteristics of A. brassicae. Diagnostic methods, including morphological and molecular identification techniques, are discussed to highlight their roles in accurate disease detection. The epidemiology and disease spread section outlines the environmental and biological factors influencing the development and dissemination of the pathogen. This includes detailed insights into the lifecycle of A. brassicae and how various climatic conditions, host susceptibility, and agronomic practices contribute to the severity of the disease. Experimentation methods employed to study Alternaria blight, including in vitro and in vivo trials, are described to emphasize their importance in developing effective management strategies. By integrating these aspects, this paper aims to enhance the understanding of Alternaria blight and provide a foundation for future research and disease management practices.
