Abstract

Anthracnose of chilli caused by Colletotrichum capsici is a serious disease affecting the yield and quality of fruits. The efficacy of fish compost against chilli fruit rot was assessed in comparison with other compost. Green house study was conducted to study the disease control by application of fish compost, farm yard manure, neem cake, mahua cake, sheep manure, paddy husk, press mud, poultry manure, coir pith compost and groundnut cake. Application of fish compost of 12.5 ton/ha recorded the maximum disease incidence and increased the fruit yield when compared to control.
 
Key words: Colletotrichum capsici, Capsicum annuum L., fish compost.
