The intensity of disease was noted by counting at least 100 plants in each field. Observation on purple blotch intensity was recorded; the symptoms expressed as initial small, water-soaked lesions later turned to light yellow to brown coloured. The per cent disease severity was calculated by using 0-5 point disease rating scale.
