FUNGI ASSOCIATED WITH GUAVA ANTHRACNOSE AND MANAGEMENT OF COLLETOTRICHUM GLOEOSPORIOIDES THROUGH BIOLOGICAL AND CHEMICAL MEANS
Abstract
Guava (Psidium guajava L.) belongs to family Myrtaceae, is the fourth most important fruit crop of Pakistan. In spite of its importance in the livelihood and upliftment of the economy of farmers, the production of guava has been reduced due to anthracnose problem thorought the Pakistan. Results of investigation revealed that C. gloeosporioides was established as major causal organism. In vitro biological control of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides by Aspergillus flavus gave good results and appeared to be the most effective against the test pathogen followed by Aspergillus niger and Trichoderma harzianum, while Aspergillus fumigatus gave poor results. Out of six fungicides tested against Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, systemic fungicides gave more good results than non systemic fungicides. Least colony growth was observed in case of Derosal which gave effective control against C. gloeosporioides followed by Bayletan, Daconil, Ridomil Gold, Mancozeb and Alliete. By the application of these strategies the anthracnose problem can be managed properly with better economic benefits and small risk of health hazard effects. These studies whould be useful for high quality guava fruit production and to control this disease.
