Evaluation of Fungicides and Botanicals against Mango (Mangifera indica) Anthracnose

Anthracnose Disease of Mango: Epidemiology, Impact and Management Options

“…Currently, several studies have documented the use of botanical in the management of anthracnose of mango [38][39][40]. At the pre-harvest of mango anthracnose disease, studies has showed that aqueous extracts leave of Eucalyptus camaldulensis and Azadirachta indica inhibited the mycelia growth of C. gloeosporioides in vitro and also under field conditions, the foliar application of the extracts reduced the incidence and severity of anthracnose on mango plants [38].…”

Furthermore, literature has also reported that mango fruits treated by dipping in aqueous extracts of Ruta chalepensis at concentration of 50 grams of the powdered plant material in 100 ml of distilled water before storage remarkably reduced the occurrence of anthracnose disease, maintained the quality and marketability of the fruits [41].…”

In vitro evaluation of different fungicides against pomegranate anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides

“…(2017) [9] and Ahmadi (2011) [2] recorded mancozeb as a most effective fungicide against C. gloeosporioides. Captan was found superior to suppress the mycelial growth of test pathogen may be due to their mode of action on respiration of the organism while mancozeb found least effective is may be due to possibly the organism developed resistance by alter the site of action (lipid metabolism).…”

“…Maximum toxicity index was found in captan (175.47) which was followed by copper hydroxide (153.60). The effectiveness of captan against Colletotrichum gloeosporioides has been recorded by Krishnappa (2010) [8] , Sharma (2012) [15] and Kumari et al (2017) [9] . Looking to concentration of individual fungicides, all the fungicides differed significantly in inhibition of test pathogen.…”

“…The copper oxychloride (37.47%), chlorothalonil (33.77%) and mancozeb (25.49%) were found moderately effective. On contrary, Kumari et al (2017)[9] and Ahmadi (2011)[2] recorded mancozeb as a most…”
