| Abstract | ||||
| Cabbage production is impaired by the occurrence of destructive diseases, in particular foliar diseases which affect the economical part of the plant. Alternaria black leaf spot is the most destructive disease of cabbage and brassicas worldwide. Screening of cabbage Alternaria leaf spot disease, in different localities of El-Sharkia governorate, Egypt, was carried out during 2010-2011 growing season. The disease appeared to be wide spread in cabbage fields. Isolation procedures yielded several fungal species with variable frequencies, but Alternaria brassicicola was the most frequently isolated one compared with others. The pathogen was observed on leaves and stems of cabbage seedlings and adult plants. It can also affect the siliqua causing a severe reduction in the quantity and quality of cabbage head or seed production. | ||||
