    Blight in Bengal Gram is caused by Ascochyta rabiei. Infected leaflets exhibit round or elongated lesions with depressed brown spots encircled by a brown margin.

Favorable conditions for this disease include high rainfall during flowering, temperatures of 20-25ËšC, and a relative humidity of 60%.
