The incidence of anthracnose disease was observed lowest in December (10.87%) and highest in July (80.50%) at the three selected betel vine fields of Shalon village in Moulvibazar district. The young stems were found more prone to attack than the old ones. Pathogenicity test showed Colletotrichum dematium and C. gloeosporioides produced characteristic disease symptoms on betel stems. Among them C. dematium is a new document as a pathogen of anthracnose of betel vine. Out of five fungicides, complete inhibition of both the pathogens in vitro occurred with corozole EC (25% propiconazole), folicur EC (25% tebuconazole) and trooper WP (75% tricyclazole). Among the four antagonistic fungi, Penicillium sp. showed more antagonistic potentiality against the pathogens.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
