It is the main disease found in tomato cultivation. Initially small, brown isolated spots are observed on leaves. Later spots are seen on stems and also on fruits. Fully developed spots become irregular, dark brown colours with concentric rings inside spots. In severe conditions, defoliation occurred.

Control: If infestation is observed take a spray of Novacrust (Azoxystrobin 11% + Tebuconazole 18.3% SC) 300 ml/acre or Taqat (Captan 70%+ Hexaconazole 5% WP) 370 gm/acre in 200 litres of water.
