The effects of temperature, rainfall, and relative humidity (RH) on the incidence of C. gloeosporioides [Glomerella cingulata] and D. natalensis [Botryodiplodia theobromae] causing postharvest rot of mango fruits was studied by artificial inoculation. In vitro studies showed that growth of G. cingulata was maximum at 28 deg C and 70% RH. Growth of B. theobromae in vitro was maximum at 32 deg , with good mycelial growth at all RH levels between 60 and 100%. The incidence of G. cingulata in vivo was favoured by temperatures ranging from 34.2 to 34.27 deg and 86.32 to 87.2% RH, while incidence of B. theobromae was favoured by temperatures ranging from 33.5 to 36.2 deg and 84.32 to 86.6% RH. It is concluded that the incidence of anthracnose on mango fruit (caused by G. cingulata) increases at temperatures between 28 and 34.27 deg and 70-87.2% RH, while the incidence of stem end rot (caused by B. theobromae) increases at temperatures between 32 and 36.2 deg and 84.23 -100% RH.
