Abstract: 

Tamilnadu is one among the largest vegetable producing state in India. Off these namakkal District is found to be focused for our survey of vegetable crops where tomato, chillies, brinjal, greens, lady finger murraya, crucifiers are cultivated more. These crops are not spared from desteuction by fungal pathogens which inject root, stems, leaves, flower and fruits. This fungal spoilage leads to the significant loss in India’s food supply. Fungal growth on these crops lead to detoriation in both quality and production of myco-toxin. These studies reported the presence of wilts, rots, rusts, spots, blisters, white spots, Downy mildew and powdery mildew caused by fungal partners like, albugo, alternaria, aspergillus, fusarium, phytophothora, colletotrichum, pythium, rhizoctonia and sclerotia etc.
