Abstract
Study on seed-borne nature of Alternaria alternata in chilli seeds indicated that in Standard blotter method, the incidence of A. alternata was 5.7–15.3% (average, 9.5%) and 16.5–28.4% (average, 21.7%) with unsterilsied seeds collected from general fields and diseased fields, respectively. The incidence for surface sterilised seeds from general and diseased fields was 2.6–7.2% (average, 4.9%) and 7.8–13.0% (average, 9.6%), respectively. In agar plate method with potato dextrose agar medium, the incidence of A. alternata was 4.0–10.5% (average, 7.4%) and 11.0–24.0% (average, 18%) with surface sterilised.
