Mitiku Tesso Jebessa, SL Ranamukhaarachchi

Abstract

Abstract Sixteen different strains causing anthracnose disease on chilli pepper plants and fruits were identified as Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. These isolates were grown on potato‐dextrose agar medium containing three Trichoderma species as possible biocontrol agents. All the Trichoderma species promoted growth, especially T. koningii.
