An experiment was carried out under net house conditions at Department of Plant Pathology, College of Agriculture, J.N.K.V.V. Jabalpur in 2020-21 to study the survival of Alternaria solani in plants debris and in soil. The result revealed that duration of survival (A. solani) is reduced as the depth of burial increased. Maximum radial mycelial growth (88.60 mm) was found after interval of 90 days, on 120 hrs at 2.5 cm depth followed by 5.0, 10 and 15 cm depth. The growth was recorded to be 81.45, 74.85 and 72.62 mm respectively. Minimum growth was found in at 20 cm depth (38.60 mm). Decomposing of the buried sample started after 90 days.
