Anthracnose, caused by the fungus Colletotrichum gloeosporioides Linnaeus, is the most common pre-and postharvest disease of mango, causing economic losses of 30-60 percent in the production of fruit in tropical, subtropical countries. C. gloeosporioides is reported to infect a wide range of hosts and has become an increasingly significant pathogen affecting a variety of economically important crops throughout the world. Mango anthracnose management is a popular issue among farmers and agriculturists. The reduction in mango production and fruit quality decline has intensified the demand for a long-term strategy to combat the disease's spread. Though the disease's pandemic nature has been researched for a long time, a lot of work is still unexplored. It needs to be done before any environment-friendly and consistent control strategy comes into existence. This review highlights various aspects of the epidemiology and management of the disease through resistant cultivars, biological controls, hot water treatment with waxing, oxalic acid treatment, Use of essential oils and botanicals.
