Abstract:

Capsicum annuum (Chilli) is an important spice crop grown in tropical and subtropical areas. India is the global leader in production of chilli. Several biotic & abiotic constraints severely affect the yield of chilli. Among the biotic constraints the plant diseases play a vital role in the crop loss. Chilli is effected by several diseases, out of which anthracnose of chilli is one of the important disease. It is also termed as dieback or fruit rot. It is caused by Colletotrichum capsici. This devastating pathogen damages both immature and mature fruits reducing the nutritive and marketing value of chillies. This review article focuses on the nature of pathogen, symptomology and effective management techniques used for eliminating anthracnose of chilli.
