Management<br />
Careful handing of fruits. Any injury on the fruit surface during harvesting and<br />
storage make the aonla fruits prone to blue mould<br />
Avoid bruising or injury to fruits while harvesting.<br />
Sanitary conditions in storage should be maintained.<br />
Treatment of fruits with borax or sodium chloride (1%) checks the blue mould<br />
infection.<br />
Treatment with carbendazim or thiophanate methyl 0.1% after harvest.<br />
Fruits smeared with mentha oil, checks the rot.<br />
6. Anthracnose: [Colletotrichum gloeosporioides state of Glomerella cingulata (Ston.)<br />
Spauld and Schrenk.]<br />
Symptoms: Disease appears on leaf let and fruit during August- September. Initial<br />
symptom of the disease is in the form of minute, circular, brown to grey spots with<br />
yellowish margin on leaflets. The central area of the spot remains grayish raised with<br />
dot like fruiting bodies. On fruits, the depressed lesions are formed, which later turn dark<br />
in the centre forming acervuli often arranged in rings. The lesion may vary in size and<br />
shape with spore masses appearing on fruiting bodies at high humidity. Consequently the<br />
fruits become shriveled and rot (Fig 9 & 10). The disease is favoured by hot and humid<br />
weather.<br />
