Abstract : Anthracnose disease [Glomerella cingulata] usually affects the leaves, flowers, fruit and new shoots of mango trees. When young leaves were attacked, many small brown round spots with faint yellow margins appeared and the badly infected leaves then curled. Infected shoots withered and dried and infected flower clusters turned black and rotted. Infected fruit were abnormal in shape, becoming black then dropping. Spraying with chlorothalonil, carbendazim, or Topsin-M (thiophanate-methyl) during the flowering and fruit growing period controlled the disease.
