Abstract
Anthracnose of chili caused by Colletotrichum capsici is responsible for huge yield loss in Bangladesh. To avoid chemical control of the disease, the present study was aimed to observe the field efficacy of selected medicinal plants including neem (Azadirachta indica) and mahogany (Swietenia mahagoni) and a commercially available formulated Trichoderma either alone or in various combinations. Among all the treatments, combined application of mahogany leaf extract and peat soil-based Trichoderma resulted highest reduction of disease incidence (58.99%) and severity (67.19%) of the leaf over control. Similar treatment combinations also resulted the highest reduction of disease incidence (64.08%) and severity (68.97%) of fruit over control. The combined application of mahogany leaf extract and peat soil-based Trichoderma also exhibited the highest plant height (27.44 cm), number of fruits per plant (169), and fruit weight per plant (499.10 g). The findings of the present study explored the potentiality of the combined application of mahogany leaf extract and peat soil-based Trichoderma for the eco-friendly management of Anthracnose of chili.
期刊介绍:
The Open Ecology Journal is an open access online journal which embraces the trans-disciplinary nature of ecology, seeking to publish original research articles, reviews, letters and guest edited single topic issues representing important scientific progress from all areas of ecology and its linkages to other fields. The journal also focuses on the basic principles of the natural environment and its conservation. Contributions may be based on any taxa, natural or artificial environments, biodiversity, spatial scales, temporal scales, and methods that advance this multi-faceted and dynamic science. The Open Ecology Journal also considers empirical and theoretical studies that promote the construction of a broadly applicable conceptual framework or that present rigorous tests or novel applications of ecological theory.
