Alternaria blight is one of the most destructive pathogens for Indian Mustard resulting in huge losses in quality and quantity of the produce. A research study was taken up to control the alternaria blight in Indian Mustard with selected eco-friendly treatments by monitoring disease intensity and yield attributes. It is noted that T<sub>2</sub> – <em>Trichoderma viride</em> has shown significant results on disease intensity and yield attributes, where disease intensity has significantly minimised in T<sub>2</sub> may be due to the mycoparasitic nature and ability to generate volatile and non-volatile compounds against pathogen with great anti-microbial activity. The results showed that maximum plant height (56.10 cm), test weight (4.11 g) and seed yield (1.21 t/ha) of Indian Mustard with minimum disease intensity (40.21 %) were recorded in the treatment T<sub>2</sub> and followed by T<sub>6­­</sub> – neem leaf extract @15% that has shown significant results on Alternaria blight.</strong></p> ER -
