The present investigation was undertaken to identify the partial resistant sources to Alternaria blight (Alternaria
brassicicola) in Indian mustard under late sown environmental conditions. Fifteen genotypes of Indian mustard were
evaluated in split plot design under artificial inoculation at four different dates of sowing during Rabi season, 2019-20
(12th Nov, 19th Nov, 26th Nov and 3rd Dec). The data obtained from study show the significant effect of date of sowing on
percent disease index and area under disease progress curve (AUDPC) under late sown condition due to early onset of
diseases at early growth stages coupled with warmer environmental condition. Among different genotypes of Indian
mustard, BRRM-101, BRRM-102, BRRM-103, BRRM-104, BRRM-106 line shows less percent disease index as well as
area under the disease progress curve.
