Seven chemicals were tested against chilli anthracnose pathogen Colletotrichum capsici. The chemicals azoxystrobin at 3 concentrations at 0.08, 0.1 and 0.12 per cent reduced the growth of C. capsici drastically. Azoxystrobin at 0.12 per cent was very effective in reducing the mycelial growth, dry weight, spore germination and germ tube elongation of about 83.27, 69.78, 81.39 per cent and 78.18 μm respectively.
