Abstract/ Executive Summary:

A study was carried out at Fruit Research Station, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Rajshahi during 2006-2009 crop seasons to evaluate twelve popular mango varieties against anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides penz. All the twelve varieties exhibit various level of susceptibility. Highest susceptibility was observed in Lotabombai in all stage of plant growth and lowest susceptibility was observed in Mollica and ress of the ten varieties were moderately susceptibe. Among the popular cultivar of mango the highest yield was observed in the cultivar Fazli which was 160.00 kg per tree and the lowest fruit per tree was yielded by the cultivar lotabombai which was 21.00 kg per tree.

Keywords: Mango, Anthracnose,Colletotrichum gloeosporioides

Location: Fruit Res. Center, Rajshahi

Start Date: 00-00-2007

End Date: 00-00-2008

Program Area: Pest Management

Non-commodity: Diseases

Objectives:

To find out the resistance source of mango varieties, which helps the farmers or researchers to deign a management package against the disease.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at established mango orchard of Fruit Research Station, Rajshahi during 2007-2008 crop season for evaluation of twelve popular mango varieties namely BARI Aam-1, BARI Aam-2, BARI Aam-3, Langra, Mollica, Fazli, Khirshapat, Kishanbhog, Lotabombai, Gopalbhog, Ashina, Raniposand. Same aged plants were selected. Randomized complete Block Design was followed with three replications. Disease severity of anthracnose was recorded using 0-5 scale as follows (Mortuza 1991) Scale Categories Percent Area Infection 0 Highly Resistant (HR) No Disease 1 Resistant (R) Up to 10 % 2 Moderately Resistant(MR) Up to 11-25 % 3 Moderately Susceptible (MS) Up to 26-50% 4 Susceptible (S) Up to 51-70% 5 Highly Susceptible (HS) Up to 71-100%

Achievement/Findings:

Field investigation results of mango anthracnose disease were recorded during 2006-2009 crop season at Fruit Research Station. Highest susceptibility was observed in the cultivar Lota bombai and Mollica were Resistant. Langra, Khirshapat, Kishanvogh, Gopalvogh, Ashwina were moderately susceptible. BARI Mango-1, BARI Mango-2, BARI Mango-3, Fazli and Raniposond Moderately resistant. Highest susceptibility was observed in Lotabombai in all stage of plant growth and lowest susceptibility was observed in Mollica and rest of the ten varieties were moderately susceptible. Among the popular cultivar of mango the highest yield was observed in the cultivar Fazli which was 160.00 kg per tree and the lowest fruit per tree was yielded by the cultivar lotabombai which was 21.00 kg per tree. However, further trial needs to be done before final recommendation
