Capsicum annuum L. is a significant horticulture crop known for its pungent varieties and used as a spice. The pungent character in the plant, known as capsaicinoid, has been discovered to have various health benefits. However, its production has been affected due to various exogenous stresses, including diseases caused by a soil-borne pathogen, Pythium spp. predominantly affecting the Capsicum plant in younger stages and causing damping-off, this pathogen can incite root rot in later plant growth stages. Due to the involvement of multiple Pythium spp. and their capability to disperse through various routes, their detection and diagnosis have become crucial. However, the quest for a point-of-care technology is still far from over. The use of an integrated approach with cultural and biological techniques for the management of Pythium spp. can be the best and most sustainable alternative to the traditionally used and hazardous chemical approach. The lack of race-specific resistance genes against Pythium spp. can be compensated with the candidate quantitative trait loci (QTL) genes in C. annuum L. This review will focus on the epidemiological factors playing a major role in disease spread, the currently available diagnostics in species identification, and the management strategies with a special emphasis on Pythium spp. causing damping-off and root rot in different cultivars of C. annuum L.

“…Most pathogens that cause damping-off are responsible for these diseases as the plant grows to maturity [56]. From the same investigator mentioned above, [57] subsequently conducted a study to determine the pathogens responsible for root rot disease in chill. From the observation, they found thatRhizoctonia solani , Sclerotium rolfsii ,Fusarium solani , Fusarium oxysporium ,Fusarium pallidoroseum, and Phytophthoracapsici were responsible for the occurrence of the disease.…”

Moringa oleifera, or drumstick tree, is popularly known as the miracle tree. Almost every part of this tree is scientifically proven to be useful, be it root, bark, gum, leaf, fruit, flower, and seed. Over the years, many scientific studies have illustrated large bioactive compounds from Moringa oleifera extract. It is possible that the antifungal property of Moringa oleifera is closely associated with the presence of its bioactive compounds. However, this finding is limited to human studies and few on agricultural importance despite their potentiality. Nonetheless, various studies found good antifungal activity of Moringa oleifera extract, the promising results for the antifungal activity made it a good candidate to replace the synthetic fungicide. In this regard, this review focuses on using Moringa oleifera extracts as a potential biofungicide against the soil borne fungal disease that destroys most cash crops, especially chillies. Conclusively, this review outline the current state of knowledge and provides a compilation of evidence-based literature on Moringa oleifera extract to provide a reference for its potential application as biofungicide against soil borne fungal disease.

Wilt is one of the major diseases causing economic losses in many crops. It is caused by infections of many bacterial (Ralstonia solanacearum), fungal (Fusarium spp., Vertcillium spp., Rhizoctonia spp., Sclerotium spp.), oomycete (Pythium spp., Phytophthora spp.) and viral (Tomato spotted wilt virus) pathogens. This review provides an overview on the control strategies used in other countries for the wilt disease in highly susceptible vegetable/fruit crops; tomato and chilli and make comparisons with Sri Lanka. Many studies have been performed on the prevalence, severity, pathogenicity and the control of these infections in both crops worldwide. Wilt in tomato is caused mainly by Ralstonia solanacearum and Fusarium oxysporum and in chilli mainly by Fusarium oxysporum. Tomato bacterial wilt is successfully managed through usage of resistant cultivars, grafting, biological control agents, inducing host systemic resistance and integrated management. Tomato and chilli wilt caused by Fusarium sp. have been successfully controlled mainly through the application of chemicals and biological approaches such as systemic defense induction and the use of microbial antagonists. In Sri Lanka, tomato wilt is reported as being the result of bacterial, fungal and viral infections which have been mainly controlled by the usage of resistant cultivars, physical measures and cultural practices. Chilli wilt in Sri Lanka has not been thoroughly studied yet. But application of fungicides has been an effective strategy for fungal wilts. Wilt threat of tomato and chilli in Sri Lanka has to be further studied for the proper management of these infections and for freeing tomato and chilli cultivations from the wilt disease.
