Table 1 Effect of liquid culture of Eupenicillium brefeldianum on symptom development on mustard cabbage leaves inoculated with conidia of Alternaria brassicicola and on conidial germination of the pathogen

^aTwo leaves were sprayed with the liquid culture once a day three times before inoculation on the 4^th day. Each leaf was inoculated at five sites, and the disease incidence and lesion diameter were recorded after 3 days.
