Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Mango (Mangifera indica L.), the King of the fruits, is the eighth most produced fruit over the world with a production of more than 43 million tons in Bangladesh, India, Nepal and many other tropical countries. It is an essential component of diet in many developing countries as it supplies vitamins and minerals and the demand is increasing day by day. In Bangladesh, mango ranks the first position in annual production with an average yield of 82 kg per acre. This amount is not high when compared to other mango producing countries in the world due to different pest damage and diseases. This review was carried out to investigate the different pre- and post-harvest treatment methods used in controlling anthracnose disease with their efficiencies. Anthracnose disease, caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides is one of the most important disease of Mango in humid areas and also in Bangladesh. About 25 to 30% loses of total mango production has been reported due to anthracnose and stem end rot which can spread with rain drops. Several pre-harvest and post-harvest management approaches has been used to control this anthracnose disease of mango fruits including chemical treatments.

Objectives:

This study has been carried out to investigate the anthracnose disease of mango fruits, pre- and post-harvest management of anthracnose and the efficiencies of different control measures.

Methodology:

Information were collected from different scientific research papers, reports and the literatures published in different national and international journals, either peer reviewed journals or not, annual reports, periodicals, relevant books, proceedings and other sources. Electronic media was another important source of information. Information was also collected visiting the websites of different autonomous and private research institutes. Collected information from the secondary sources have been compiled systematically and chronologically.

Achievement/Findings:

Anthracnose disease of mango is one of the major pre- and postharvest disease of mango fruit throughout the world which damage flowers, young fruits, leaves and twigs and it causes huge pre and post-harvest losses to mango crop. In Bangladesh, about 25 to 30% loses of total production due to anthracnose and stem end rot. Several sprays and dip treatments of chemicals are used in anthracnose disease management, some of which are more effective and others are less effective. Timely application of fungicides spray is effective to control anthracnose is by, which also raises environmental and health hazard. Another way is to use Eucalyptus and neem leaf extract against the infection caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. Proper knowledge of these disease is essential for its proper management to ensure the fruitful yield. Hence, at the present time more emphasis is made on other methods of disease management like growing resistant varieties, use of plant and natural products, bio-control agents and alteration in agronomic practices because they are more economical, eco-friendly and safe.
