Abstract:
One of the most significant cash crops in India is the chilli (Capsicum annum), which is produced year-round under a variety of agro-climatic conditions. The destruction of this crop by insects, mites, and diseases is a major barrier to its cultivation. Among the diseases, Choanephora cucurbitarum blight, powdery mildew caused by Leveillula taurica, anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum capsici, die back caused by Colletotrichum capsici, and Leaf spot caused by Cercospora capsici are major causes of crop losses ranging from 10 to 50%, depending on the severity of the disease and environmental factors.

Farmers use a variety of fungicides to manage the diseases. But because the same fungicides are used frequently, the pathogens become resistant, making it necessary to constantly search for new, more effective fungicides to manage the diseases.
In this experiment the combined management of leaf spot, powdery mildew, twig blight, and anthracnose diseases of chilli results in the lowest percent disease index and highest yields. Kresoxim methyl 40% WG + Hexaconazole 8% WG @ 500-625g/ha is very effective in this regard.
At any of the concentrations tried, Kresoxim methyl 40% WG + Hexaconazole 8% WG has not observed any phytotoxicity symptoms in the chilli plant.
