ABSTRACT

The family Brassicaceae includes 338 genera, and 3709 species consists of crops, weeds, and decorative vegetation. In Brassicaceae family, remains an enormous diversity of economically important crops forms, the main source of edible and non-edible oil, vegetable, forage, and fodder, condiments. In the genus Brassica of family Brassicaceae, rapeseed-mustard crops play tremendous role in human and animal diet. Among 30 diseases recognized to distress rapeseed mustard crops, about 18 are studied as economically important in diverse condition all over the world. The plant diseases cause severe loss, both in physical and financial terms. The physical losses arise from the loss of production arising from the incidence of disease. Fungicides like iprodione, procymidone, and fludioxonil have shown resistance against isolates of A. brassicicola, which may affect their effectiveness under field situation to manage the disease.
