Distribution of anthracnose disease in orchards in the mango production area in northern regions of Cote d'Ivoire

Abstract

Anthracnose disease is one of the main major biotic constraints to the marketing of mango in Côte d'Ivoire. The objective of this work is to report on the distribution of mango anthracnose disease in the mango production basin in northern Côte d'Ivoire. This study focused on 740 mango trees spread over 20 orchards, consisting mainly of the Kent variety. These orchards are located in three (3) study locations, namely the Bagoué, Tchologo and Poro regions. The study consisted of evaluating the incidence and severity of anthracnose in leaf, fruit and branch organs of 740 mango trees in 20 orchards in the three study regions.
