Other claims from this paper (19)
- Observation Colletotrichum coccodes was recorded as the cause of pepper anthracnose in Egypt for the first time.
- Observation Isolate No.1 from Abo-Swear was the most virulent and aggressive isolate of C.coccodes on pepper fruits under lab and greenhouse conditions.
- Observation Markony was the most susceptible pepper cultivar to the virulent C.coccodes isolate under laboratory conditions.
- Observation Red hot pepper of the same cultivar, green 7182 and yellow Derby sweet pepper were susceptible, after Markony.
- Observation Baramo orange sweet pepper was moderately susceptible to C.coccodes.
- Observation Ferrari red sweet pepper was resistant to the highest virulent isolate of C. coccodes.
- Intervention effect The rotted area on pepper fruits increased with a longer incubation period at 26±1 oC from 5 to 9 days.
- Observation C.coccodes was able to attack tomato fruits.
- Observation C.coccodes was able to attack apple fruits.
- Observation Fruits of eggplant, strawberry, peach, orange, lime, papaya, guava and mango showed no symptoms of C.coccodes.
- Intervention effect Garlic extract at 20% was the most effective plant extract in inhibiting C.coccodes growth in vitro.
- Intervention effect The fungicides Euparen, Octave and Swtich completely inhibited C.coccodes growth in vitro at all tested concentrations.
- Intervention effect Trichoderma harzianum considerably reduced C.coccodes mycelial growth.
- Intervention effect Chaetomium spirale considerably reduced C.coccodes mycelial growth.
- Intervention effect Chaetomium globosum considerably reduced C.coccodes mycelial growth.
- Intervention effect Hot water treatments were more effective on inoculated hot pepper fruits with longer dipping periods.
- Intervention effect Dipping inoculated pepper fruits in T. harzianum suspension reduced anthracnose lesion size compared with the control.
- Intervention effect Different plant extracts reduced the severity of pepper fruit rots.
- Intervention effect Lime extract was the most effective extract in decreasing the area infected with C.coccodes, ahead of sweet basil, mint and pepper extracts.
