Abstract: Colletotrichum capsici infection will be higher in the mature stage of chilli plant than in the early stage of plant (Krairuan et al., 2008). The fungus prefers warm humid environment for spreading the anthracnose disease uniformly and effectively. All the two contact and six systemic fungicides evaluated in vitro were found fungistatic against Colletotrichum capsici. Among all these fungicides, Tricyclazole was found to be most effective with significantly maximum mycelial growth inhibition and least mycelial growth followed by fungicides viz. Azostrobin, Tebuconazole, Difenconazole, Propiconazole, Carbendazim + Mancozeb. While comparatively minimum average radial mycelial growth inhibition was recorded with Hexaconazole followed by Propineb. All the seven fungal and one bacterial antagonists evaluated in vitro were found antifungal against Colletotrichum capsici exhibited significant mycelial growth inhibition. However, Trichoderma asperallum, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Trichoderma harzianum and Gliocladium virens recorded significantly highest mycelial growth inhibition. Rest of the bioagents, Trichoderma ligronum, Trichoderma koningii and Trichoderma longibrachiatum and Trichoderma hamatum tested also caused significant mycelial inhibition of the test pathogen.
