Abstract : Spraying with a mixture containing maneb + zinc, an insecticide and a foliar fertilizer reduced the population of the anthracnose pathogen (Colletotrichum gloeosporioides [Glomerella cingulata]) on both leaves and flowers while tending to increase the saprophytic component of the microflora population.
