Abstract : Many disease problems are found in the culture of mango (Mangifera indica L), among them stands out Colletotrichum gloeosporioides causing anthracnose disease, which affects all plant organs. This study aimed to analyze the influence of temperature on the development of colonies of three isolates of Colletotrichum spp. obtained from different organs of the hose. The three isolates showed better mycelial growth in the temperature range 20-25°C. The track temperature 25-30°C showed more efficient in relation to the germination of conidia and sporulation for Colletotrichum spp.
