Abstract

A symptomatic leaf spot diseased samples were collected and responsible pathogenic fungus was isolated from the banana field near Bakrol, Gujarat, India. The morphological and molecular characterisation identified this fungus to be Alternaria sp. The pathogenic fungus was repeatedly isolated from symptomatic leaf spot in detached banana leaf assay which fulfilled the Koch’s postulates for this pathogen. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of incidence of leaf spot disease caused by Alternaria sp. on banana plant in Gujarat, India.
