Hi Sonu Saurav. I am not sure, but compare symptoms with Sooty Mold by clicking on green link for checking symptoms and taking control measures from Plantix library. Also use fertilizer calculater, crop Advisory, see all tasks and weather report sections available here on home page of Plantix to increase your crop productivity.

Dear Sonu Saurav I agree with Mr Suresh Gollar that it is sooty mold. The mold grows on syrup secreted by Aphids. It disrupts the photosynthetic area , thus affecting the yield. The Aphids can be controlled by spraying Dimethoate 1.7 ml OR Acephate 1 gm OR Imidachloprid 0.5 ml in one litre of water. About 250 litres of spray solution may be required per acre. Good luck.
