Abstract

The incidence-severity relationship for chili anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum spp., was studied on ten released Chili/pepper genotypes to determine the feasibility of using disease incidence to estimate indirectly disease severity in order to establish the potential damage caused by this disease in southern region, Ethiopia. Data were statistically analyzed by regression. Anthracnose leaf incidence was consistently associated with leaf severity and their relationships can be estimated using the linear function across locations, crop seasons, and genotypes. Thus, the use of easily assessed incidence data had been recommended for determination of severity as well as epidemic comparisons, genotype and seasonal evaluation in chili anthracnose management. This study will pave the way for chili producing farmers for cheaper and efficient approach tailoring it for determination of economic threshold level and launch opportune management practices.
