Fungicides for management of blossom blight and anthracnose disease of Mango caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides

It was observed from two years pooled data that carbendazim + mancozeb (0.2%) significantly found most effective in controlling blossom blight and anthracnose disease of mango at MPKV, Rahuri, AES Paria and BCKV, Mohanpur, whereas carbendazim (0.1%) and tricyclazole (0.1%) was most effective at RFRS, Vengurle centre. However, at Vengurle centre tricyclazole (0.1%) found to be the most effective for management of anthracnose disease of mango, followed by chlorothalonil (0.2%). However, it was at par with thiophanate methyl (0.1%) and propineb (0.2%). It is thus, concluded that spraying of carbendazim + mancozeb (0.2%) or carbendazim (0.1%) or tricyclazole (0.1%) thrice at 10 days interval starting from the emergence of vegetative and two sprays on flowering flush effectively controlled anthracnose and blossom blight disease of mango.
