Mango anthracnose is caused by the fungal pathogen Colletotrichum gloeosporiorides sp. It produces dark colored spots or sunken lesions on leaves, twigs, petioles, flowers, and fruits of mango trees. The disease cycle involves the fungus producing spores that spread during rain or irrigation and infect mango tissues. Infected areas then produce more spores, allowing the disease to spread during wet weather. Disease management focuses on cultural practices like site selection, cultivar selection, sanitation and spacing to limit disease spread, as well as fungicide application and postharvest treatments.
