Summary
Thirty three fungicides were evaluatedin vitro andin vivo for the control of anthracnose, caused byColletotrichum coccodes (Wallr.) Hughes. Three promising fungicides, thiram, captafol wp and sc and prochloraz, were identified by a filter paper-disc plate method, but only prochloraz had an effect when using a fungicide plate method. None of the fungicides adequately controlled anthracnosein vivo.
