Abstract
Six fungicides were evaluated against the anthracnose pathogen Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (Penz. & Sacc) through poison food technique under in vitro conditions and through foliar sprays under field conditions. Under In vitro conditions carbendazim (50%) WP @ 0.1% completely inhibited mycelial growth while carbendazim (12%) + mancozeb (63%) WP @ 0.1% was found most effective in terms of Percent Diseases Index(27.55%), Per cent Disease Control (60%) and maximum yield (122.61 kg/tree) under field conditions.
