Abstract

Survey of pre and post-harvest diseases of some solanaceous fruits used for vegetable purpose were carried out from July-2017 to December-2018. It is observed that most of the fruits get destroyed by pathogenic fungi. Some of the fungi found in post-harvest form were not reported in pre harvest condition whereas, inoculums of some pathogens remain constant in pre and post-harvest condition. In order to confirm the pathogenesity of the fungus Kochs postulates method was used to confirm the pathogenesity test. Pathogenic fungi reported in pre and post-harvest condition of Solanum melongina (Brinjal) were Colletotrichum capsici and Dreshschlera rostrata, Cladosporium cladosporioides while Rhizsopus stolonifer, Rhizoctonia sp and Fusarium oxysporum, Phoma exiqua were reported on Solanum tuberosum (Potato), Alternaria alternata, Fusarium oxysporum and Curvularia lunata, Cladosporium sp were reported on Lycopersicon lycopersicum (Tomato). .
