Grape (Vitis vinifera L.) is a fruit, botanically a berry, is among the oldest plants on earth and is one among the most consumed fruit crop worldwide. India is ranked at 9th position in grape production (Shikamany, 2001; Gade et al., 2014). It is affected my numerous pest and disease. Anthracnose is a major disease following powdery mildew and downy mildew for which excessive chemicals are used for their management causing potential threat. In order to reduce the damage to the environment and humans, an attempt was made to study the antagonistic property of seven botanicals viz., Azadirachat indica, Allium sativum L., Allium cepa L., Eucalyptus teretecornes, Parthenium hysterophorus, Pongamia pinnata and Ocimum basilicum for the management of anthracnose of grape popularly known as “Bird’s eye spot” caused by E. ampelina. All the above mentioned seven botanicals were tested by poison food technique against E. ampelina. Among the botanicals tested the maximum per cent mycelial inhibition was recorded in treatments involving Onion extract (78.00 %) and Garlic extract (72.23 %) at 10 per cent concentrations which was found to be significantly superior over rest of the treatments.
