“…The present findings are in agreement with the earlier reports of Ekbote (2002) who conducted a survey of the prevalent diseases of chilli (Capsicum annuum) in 6 taluks in the Haveri district of Karnataka. Fruit rot caused by Colletotrichum capsici was found to varies around 42.7% and similar results were reported by Chigoziri et al (2013) [4]…”

Chilli (Capsicum annuum) is an important spice as well as vegetable global cultivated crop. It is used in many cuisines but also found to have many medicinal properties. Chilli (Capsicum annum L.) is an important cash crop of Central Telangana region. In Khammam District chilli is grown in 21,340 ha area with 1.02 lakh tons annual production (AMC 2018-19).Chilli (Capsicum annum L.) crop is main cash crop to the farming community next to Paddy and maize crops in the District. Cost of cultivation of Chilli was high than other crops in spite of that the farmers were interested to cultivate the Chilli (Capsicum annum L.) crop by getting high net returns. During 2019-20 majority area of Chilli (Capsicum annum L.) crop was severely affected by fruit rot disease in the District, the extent of disease observed up to 53.6% in some areas at second picking stage in the month of December. The percent disease incidence in Khammam district is varies from 36.0% to 53.6%. The maximum disease incidence was recorded in Kusumanchi (53.6%) followed by Khammam Rural (48.5%), Karepalli (47.0%), Konijerla (45.40%). Kamepalli (45.3%), Thallada (43.4%), Mudigonda (42.8%) and Enkur(41.6%) in the month of December.

“…Fungal species Aspergilla's flavous and Aspergilla's nigras were identified by preparing slides and viewing spores under compound microscope (X 40-X 100 magnifications) for the presence of fungi (E. Chigoziri & E.J. Ebenezer et al 2013), identification of these fungal pathogens on the base of spores, morphology and colony of characters (Barnett & Hunter 1972, & Ellis 1971.…”

Chili (Capsicum annuum L.) is the fruit of plants, the Chili is susceptible for several diseases and seed borne fungi Phytophthora capsici which produces collar rot and root of chili. Seed borne pathogens are associated with untreated seeds of chili which are also significantly reduced the germination of seed. This experiment was conducted to find out the seed borne fungi and enhanced the germination of chili (Capsicum annuum) with two fungicides known as Mancozeb 80% WP and Carbendazim 50% WP. Effectiveness of these two fungicides were measured when the seeds planted on blotter paper in petri plates at 27 0 C under lab conditions. These two fungicides significantly reduce the effect of seed borne fungi associated with chili seeds. Mancozeb 80% WP was found most effective to reduce the effect of seed borne fungi and increase the seed germination. Considering the results of the experiment, Mancozeb 80% WP was noted to be a best fungicide against the seed borne fungi.

“…In contrast, two other fungal species, namely Fusarium and Aspergillus species were associated only with the seed coat, indicating their externally seed borne nature. Both of these genera have been reported to be acting as pathogens and non-pathogens or saprophytes on pepper seeds and fruits (Chigoziri & Ekefan, 2013;Asalmol et al, 2001). Aspergillus sp.…”

“…is a commonly found fungal species associated with chili seeds. It is noted for causing reduction in germination by inducing crown rot/ collar rot (Chigoziri & Ekefan, 2013), while Fusarium acts as a member of the damping off complex in Capsicum spp. Moreover, these pathogens can produce toxins that render agricultural produce unsuitable for consumption.…”

Characterization of fungal pathogens causing anthracnose in capsicum pepper (<i>Capsicum annuum</i> L.) and their seed borne nature

et al. 2019

Anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum spp. is a troublesome disease in all Capsicum spp. including capsicum pepper (Capsicum annuum L.), causing severe losses at both the pre-harvest and post-harvest stages. It is common throughout the world. In Sri Lanka, capsicum pepper is likely to be infected by both Colletotrichum capsici (Colletotrichum truncatum) and C. gloeosporioides, resulting in a reduction in the quantity and quality of the harvest. A detailed investigation was carried out to identify the different species of Colletotrichum that infect capsicum pepper, and the nature of this infection by employing standard tests. Colletotrichum capsici and C. gloeosporioides were isolated from the capsicum pepper seed samples collected from three different agro ecological regions in Sri Lanka. When capsicum pepper seeds collected from fruits categorized according to a standard rating scale were tested for germination, a gradual decrease of germination percentages and increased seed infection percentages were observed. After culturing different components of the seeds collected from infected fruits, it was found that both C. capsici and C. gloeosporioides can survive on the seed coat, pericarp and embryo. In addition, Fusarium spp. and Aspergillus spp. were also present in cultures of seed coat but not in cultures of the pericarp and embryo. The study revealed that both C. capsici and C. gloeosporioides can invade the important parts of the seeds internally and externally, causing higher germination losses, during both the pre and post emergence stages of capsicum pepper; the Aspergillus spp. and Fusarium spp. were only seed borne externally.
