Here we generalize previous work by Eisenbud-Harris and Farkas in order to prove that certain Brill-Noether divisors on the moduli space of curves have distinct supports. From this fact we deduce non-trivial regularity results for a higher co dimensional Brill-Noether locus and for the general $\frac{g+1}{2}$-gonal curve of odd genusg.
