Abstract

Colletotrichum gloeosporioides is responsible for twig blight, dieback and fruit drop in Nagpur mandarin. In vitro studies of bioagents, botanicals and fungicides efficacy against Colletotrichum gloeosporioides revealed that Curzate M 8 @ 0.3% and carbendazim @ 0.1%, completely inhibited (100%) the growth of pathogen. Among bioagents, Pseudomonas fluorescens inhibited the growth of C. gloeosporioides to the extent of 89.05 per cent. Among two botanical extracts, neem seed extract (5.0%) found to inhibit the mycelial growth to the extent of 78.09 per cent. Maximum reduction in per cent fruit drop (26.0%) was recorded in sprays of Curzate M 8 (0.3%) followed by copper oxychloride which showed 34.00 per cent reduction in mandarin fruit drop.
