Abstract


Brinjal (or Eggplant) is one of the popular vegetable crops usually cultivated worldwide. This vegetable crop faces economic losses due to various diseases which are caused by different pathogens. The Fusarium wilt in eggplant plant is one of the most harmful and devastating disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum .f. melongenae. In this investigation, we have focused on fusarium wilt and conduct a survey aimed at assessing percent disease incidence in brinjal in different districts of Western Uttar Pradesh. The survey result revealed that fusarium wilt was noticed in almost all sites which are surveyed and the range of percent disease incidence is 15-32%. The maximum wilt disease incidence was observed in Sikandrabad tehsil (32%) of Bulandsahar district while the least disease incidence in Garhmukteshwar tehsil (15%) of Hapur district and disease incidence also occurs in Mawana tehsil (18.33%) of Meerut district.
