In Vitro Efficacy of Selected Fungicides and Bio-control Agents against Anthracnose of Cucumber (Colletotrichum orbiculare)

Key Points

• Cucumber anthracnose management is enhanced by the application of selected fungicides and bio-control agents.
• The study identifies specific agents that effectively reduce the impact of colletotrichum orbiculare under in vitro conditions.
• Assessment using in vitro tests reveals significant differences in efficacy among various fungicides and bio-control agents.
• Improved approaches may enable better management of cucumber anthracnose, highlighting the need for further field trials.
