Alternaria blight of sunflower caused by Alternaria helianthi (Hansf.) Tubaki and Nishihara is the most important disease of monsoon-grown sunflower crops in India (Kolte & Mukhopadhyay, 1973; Narain & Saksena, 1973). It is also reported to occur in Rumania (Hulea, Iliescu & Bunescu, 1975), Tanzania (Allen, 1974) and Brazil (Ribeiro et al. 1975). The present studies were carried out to assess the effect of different disease intensities on yield and oil content of the sunflower crop.
