The Colletotrichum Gloeosporioides Epidemic in Mangoes

Abstract

The earliest reported occurrence of anthracnose was 45th SMW, while the highest incidence was 31.95% on 52nd SMV. From the thirteenth to the fourteenth SMW, the illness advanced more rapidly (11.35 to 26.41%), but from the fifth to the tenth SMW, it advanced more slowly (26.73 to 9.63%). It is evident that the mango anthracnose illness may begin as early as 45 SMW (the 2nd week of November) and continue until 20 SMW (the 3rd week of May), and the window period for the disease can be defined as the 49th to 52nd SMW (30.61 to 31.95 %). To stop the illness from spreading and losses from occurring, appropriate management actions should be implemented between the 47th and 52nd MSW. Topics covered include mangoes, epidemiology, anthracnose, and Colletotrichum Gloeosporioides.
