Abstract : In vitro analysis was carried out by taking carbendazim, thiophanate methyl, boric acid, sodium bicarbonate, neem leaf extract, jatropha leaf extract and paraffin wax was used against the pathogen. Carbendazim (0.05%) significantly inhibited the mycelial growth of the pathogen, both as pre- and post infection applications and maintained shelf life of mango up to 10-15 days at room temperature.
