EPIDEMIOLOGY OF MANGO ANTHRACNOSE CAUSED BY COLLETOTRICHUM GLOEOSPORIOIDES
Keywords:
Mango, Epidemiology, Colletotrichum Gloeosporioides, AnthracnoseAbstract
The first anthracnose incidence was recorded, 45th SMW and reached at its highest on 52st SMV (31.95%). The disease was more progressive during 13th to 14th (11.35 to 26.41 %) and the disease progress was slow down during 5th to 10th SMW (26.73 to 9.63%). Hence, 49th to 52nd SMW (30.61 to 31.95 %) can be considered as window period for the anthracnose disease of mango and it is very clear that the disease may start from 45 SMW (November 2nd week) and may progress up to 20th SMW (May 3rd week). But the window period is 47th to 52th MSW when proper management measures should be taken to avoid the further spread of the disease and avoid losses.
