Leaf spot disease of Cabbage is caused by Alternaria brassicicola Schwein. & Wiltshire. The present research work was conducted to find out the cultural and morphological characteristics of Alternaria brassicicola Schwein. & Wiltshire. For this purpose, field surveys were undertaken in three districts of Western Maharashtra viz. Kolhapur, Sangli and Satara during the years 2021 - 2022. Seven isolates of the pathogen were isolated from diseased samples collected during the survey. Those were purified and their pathogenicity was tested. Cultural and morphological characters of different isolates were studied, which showed variation in growth and conidial morphology.
