Abstract: The environmental factor play very important role in the development of the plant disease. Alternaria blight of tomato during two year is observed 2014-15 and 2015-16 crop season. The disease appears in the 3rd week of November in both the year. Maximum disease incidence 40.5% was observed in the 4th week of January 2014-15 and 2nd week of January 2015-16 crop season. When the average temperature and relative humidity 14.1 and 84.2% on the average disease incidence was observed 3rd week of January 2014-15 and 2nd week of January 2015-16 crop.

Keywords: Environmental factor, Alternative, Tomato
