The Lowest disease severity (DS 1) was recorded in the month of January and the highest DS was (DS 9) in the month of May. Rainfall and humidity did not show any effect on disease development but temperature shows noticeable effect on disease development. A total of 20 species of fungi were isolated from Tagetes erecta and T. patula.
