LANDERO-VALENZUELA, Nadia et al. Alternatives for the control of Colletotrichum spp. Rev. Mex. Cienc. Agríc [online]. 2016, vol.7, n.5, pp.1189-1198. ISSN 2007-0934.

Colletotrichum gloeosporioides is a pathogen that causes a disease known as anthracnose, which occurs in plants and fruits. The fruit from their training and development on the ground, and even post-harvest is damaged by this pathogen, causing losses of up to 100%, depending on weather conditions prevailing in a region. Fungicides preharvest or postharvest are the main way to reduce losses from this disease. However, indiscriminate use of these has resulted in resistance of pathogenic microorganisms. On the other hand, its use is largely restricted due to concerns about toxic waste and the risks posed to health. Therefore, there is a need to manage the disease friendly alternatives with the environment, including plant extracts, microorganisms as biological control agents, hydrothermal treatments, genetic manipulation and induced resistance. The aim of this study was to analyze the different alternatives applied to the management control of Colletotrichum spp.

Keywords : Trichoderma; anthracnose; biological control; hosts; postharvest.
