Effect of Inoculation Methods, Inoculum Concentration of Colletotrichum capsici and Fruit Ripening Stage on Chilli Fruit rot.

摘要

Hypodermic injection method of inoculation of Colletotrichum capsici was found to be the best in producing the large lesions and per cent disease index. Fully ripened red stage chilli fruits were the most susceptible producing large lesions and per cent disease index. Inoculum concentration of 10~6 conidia/ml of C. capsici was the most effective concentration, producing maximum lesion size and per cent disease index.
