Anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (Penz.), is the most prevalent postharvest disease affecting the marketability mango.
At present, the control of anthracnose disease in mangos remains reliant on fungicides including prochloraz amines, azoxystrobin and thiabendazole.
These fungicides effectively suppress the development of anthracnose symptoms,but selection of resistant forms of the pathogen is often associated with long term use in the absence of an integrated resistance management plan.
