RESPONSE OF SIX CHILI VARIETIES TO ANTHRACNOSE DISEASE CAUSED BY Colletotrichum acutatum AND C. gloeosporiodes

Response of six chili varieties to anthracnose disease caused by Colletotrichum acutatum and C. gloeosporiodes. Chili is one the horticultural commodities with high economic value. production constrained diseases. Losses due can reduce fruits quality yields lose. This study aims determine resistance several anthracnose. Genetic material was used chili. Ripe chilies were inoculated two types isolates, i.e. gleosporides. The experiment arranged in a factorial randomized block design three replications. first factor varieties: Laris, SSP, Habanero, Cibinong, Ekasari, Kopay. second fungal isolates. Observations made on incidence severity results showed that both isolates effective causing chilies. Habanero very susceptible Laris Ekasari moderately resistant These findings are important develop new Capsicum cultivars more adaptive disease.
