Abstract : Benomyl and thiophanate-methyl at 1.8 g/litre were more effective than captafol, mancozeb and vinclozolin at 1.8 g and tribasic copper sulphate at 3.6 g as foliar sprays for the control of anthracnose (Colletotrichum gloeosporioides [Glomerella cingulata]). Captafol, mancozeb and vinclozolin were better than tribasic copper sulphate. The percentage of disease-free fruit for the benomyl and thiophanate-methyl treatments was >85% and for captafol, mancozeb and vinclozolin treatments >70% with tribasic copper sulphate yielding only 18% disease-free fruit. No toxicity was noted for any of the chemicals tested.
