Alternaria leaf spot or black leaf spot caused by Alternaria brassicicola is the devastating diseases of mustard-rapeseed in Bangladesh, and can cause yield loss up to 60% every year. A total of 27 cultivars of Brassica spp. where Brassica rapa (13), B. juncea (5) and B. napus (9) were selected for resistance screening against A. brassicicola. Two inoculation methods viz. detached leaf and seedling inoculation were assessed for checking the validation of inoculation technique using cultivated mustard-rapeseed varieties in Bangladesh a method to measure resistance to A. brassicicola. A significant positive correlation between the results of two inoculation methods was found in this study. The detached leaf technique was more suitable due to development of clear symptoms on the leaves within 36 hrs, and suitable for screening large scale genotypes for resistance. The 3rd leaves of 30 day-old were more suitable for inoculation having severe symptoms than the 4th leaves. Among 27 Bangladeshi mustard-rapeseed cultivars all cultivars expressed susceptible reaction to A. brassicicola, except BINA Sharisha-8, as it had border line resistance.

Temporal spread of dark leaf spot on Chinese cabbage was studied in experimental plots for 2 years. The effect of row orientation, the orientation of inoculated plants, and irrigation system on disease incidence and the effect of average wind direction on disease spread were investigated. A line source of inoculum in each plot was used for the 1993–94 summer and the 1994 spring–summer field trials, and 3 line sources for a 1995 autumn field trial. Disease progressed more rapidly in the 1993–94 summer than in the 1995 autumn. Disease epidemic did not develop in the 1994 spring–summer when environmental conditions were unfavourable. Disease incidence was higher in plots with row orientation parallel to the average wind direction than in plots with row orientation at right angles to the average wind direction for both the 1993–94 summer and the 1995 autumn trials. In summer 1993–94, across-row inoculation resulted in higher disease incidence than row inoculation did. No difference in disease incidence occurred between channel irrigation and overhead irrigation plots. Secondary infections always occurred adjacent to the source of inoculum and disease spread was influenced by the prevalent wind direction.

The spatial spread of dark leaf spot caused by Alternaria brassicicola on Chinese cabbage was characterised over 2 years. The study was conducted in 2 field trials using ordinary runs, mapping, spatial autocorrelation, and 2-dimensional distance class analyses. Diseased plants were generally clustered and cluster orientation coincided with the line of inoculation. Disease spread was greater within than across rows. The maximum number of spatial lags with significantly positive autocorrelations occurred when disease incidence levels reached 20–80% in summer 1993–94. Core cluster size generally increased with disease incidence. Two-dimensional distance class analysis was the best analytical method among those used in describing spatial spread of the disease as it did not only provide maximum information but also considered missing data.

Aim. Studying of black nightshade young plants’ response to the induced mechanical stresses. Methods. Researches conducted in small plot fi eld experiments. Results. Change of sensitivity level of Solanum nigrum L. plants depending on phases of their development at the moment of damage of elevated parts has been proven. Owing to loss of the surface capable to photosynthesis, there is an essential decrease in volumes of photosynthesis at plants of weed survived and their possibilities of ontogeny passage. The deep induced dis- stresses reduce biological effi ciency of plants, their ability to accumulate weight and to form seeds and even lead them to death. Conclusions. The defi ned principles of response of weed plants to the induced mechanical dis-stresses are can be used for working out and ecological receptions of crops protection from weeds.
