Abstract: Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) is one of the foremost vegetable crop grown extensively in south Gujarat during Kharif as well as summer seasons. Cercospora leaf spot incited by Cercospora malayensis (Stev. and Solh.) is a minor disease which was less significant earlier but is now considered as one of the emerging disease in south Gujarat region. Out of 8 botanicals tested against C. malayensis, cent per cent inhibition of mycelial growth over control was recorded in garlic clove extracts at 10 per cent concentration which was followed by turmeric rhizome extracts (25.19 and 30.52%) at 5 and 10% concentrations.
