Nine bacterial isolates were obtained from leaf surface, fruit skin and blossom of mango
and tested for their efficacy against Colletotrichum gloeosporioides causing mango anthracnose.
The results revealed that an isolate of foliar Pseudomonas fluorescens caused maximum inhibition
of spore germination, germ tube elongation and mycelial growth of C. gloeosporioides. It also
allowed minimum lesion diameter under detached leaf technique.
