Solanum melongena L. (eggplant) is a member of Solanaceae family. This is frost-tender herbaceous perennial, usually grown as an annual plant. Diseases such as Verticillium wilt, Southern blight, Phomopsis blight, Anthracnose fruit rot and Altenaria blight are commonly associated with eggplant and can reduce its harvestable yield significantly.
