Abstract:
Anthracnose disease, is reported as a major constraint in the production of chilies in tropical and subtropical countries, resulting in significant losses. The anthracnose disease has caused a 10–54 per cent reduction in crop yield in India. Chilli anthracnose management has been a burning issue for agriculturists and farmers because no effective control measures have been proposed to date. The decline in chilli production and the deterioration of fruit quality have heightened the need for a long-term strategy to combat the disease's spread. There is no single management technique that can effectively control the disease. The use of a combination of different strategies to manage the disease is generally recommended.
