conducted at College of Horticulture, Vellanikkara during 1997-98. Etiological
studies revealed Colletotrichum lindemuthianum (Sacc. and Magn.) Br. and Cav. as
the main pathogen causing anthracnose disease in Kerala and the pathogen was
found to be seed borne. Among the 50 genotypes tested, Kanakamony was found
immune to the disease and seven genotypes were highly resistant to the disease. In
(
disease management studies, all fungicides, botanicals and antagonist Trichoderma
viride were equally effective under in vitro and field conditions. As far as disease
control, yield and C:B ratio were concerned, mancozeb was found to be the best
treatment. Summer season was found to be the best season for cowpea cultivation in
areas where anthracnose is a problem. In crop loss assessment, significant
difference was noticed between carbendazim treated and untreated plots in case of
disease infection and yield, and yield loss of 53.85 per cent was recorded under
natural condition due to this-disease.
