ABSTRACT
Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is one of the important fruit crop in tropical and sub-tropical countries. Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (Penz.) Penz and Sacc. causing anthracnose is a serious disease in mango, accounting for 15-20% loss. In recent years, there is a huge loss in nursery seedlings due to this disease. So, a roving survey was conducted to ascertain disease severity under nurseries in major mango growing regions of Karnataka during kharif 2015. Among the ten districts surveyed, highest per cent disease index (PDI) was observed in Srinivaspur taluk (33.60 %) of Kolar district with mean PDI of 32.40 followed by Chikkaballapur district with mean PDI of 31.62. Whereas, least per cent disease index was recorded in Devanahalli taluk (21.15 %) of Bengaluru Rural district (21.52%).
Key words: Mango, Anthracnose disease, Survey, Per cent disease index (PDI)
