A severe leaf spot disease of cucumber caused by a pathotype of Alternaria alternata (Fr.) Keissler was recorded recently in plastic houses in Crete. Lesions ranged in size of a pin point to over 5 cm in diameter, with necrotic tissue on most of their area and a surrounding yellow zone. The pathogen grew satisfactorily on PDA at temperatures between 5 °C–40 °C and spore germination occurred in the range less than 10 °C to over 37 °C. Optimum temperature in both cases was near 26 °C. Of,13 fungicides tested in vitro, sodium omadine, etem, dichlofluanid, captan and folpet were the most inhibitory on spore germination, and iprodione, sodium omadine and dichlofluanid on mycelial growth. Of 25 fungicides applied on two leaf cucumber plants 24 h before inoculation, maneb, etem, dichlofluanid and chlorothalonil were the most effective. When the last fungicides, plus mancozeb, were applied 24 h after inoculation only maneb was effective. In greenhouse experiments, iprodione, prochloraz-manganese-complex, chlorothalonil, dichlofluanid, guazatine, maneb and etem were the most effective for disease control, while mancozeb was less effective. The local cucumber cv. Knossos and the Dutch F1 hybrids Evadan, Frella, Herta, Malfa, Mazourka, Pepinex 69 and Renova were all susceptible to infection.
