Abstract

A field experiment was conducted in Randomized Block Design with five replications on chilli (var. Parbhani Tejas). There were four treatments viz; Anthracnose management, Powdery mildew management, Anthracnose + Powdery mildew management and Control. Fungicides viz; copper oxy-chloride and wettable sulphur were sprayed for the management of anthracnose and powdery mildew diseases respectively. Avoidable yield losses due to anthracnose were 50% and due to powdery mildew. Under good management of both these diseases avoidable yield losses were 59.47% as compared to control.
