An extensive roving survey carried out during both the year2017-18 and 2018-19 in the eight districts of Marathwada region for the incidence of anthracnose of chilli. The results revealed that overall disease intensity was higher during 2017-18 (31.29 %) as compared to 2018-19 (36.11 %). The disease was found to be predominant in all the eight districts of Marathwada region. However, the crop grown in the districts of Nanded followed by Aurangabad, Hingoli and Parbhani was found to suffer more severely with average disease intensity in the range of 24 to 36 per cent and 19 to 46 per cent during both the year, respectively. Osmanabad, Latur and Beed districts recorded minimum average disease incidence in both the year. The congenial weather conditions like heavy rainfall, higher relative humidity and moderate temperatures have helped in building up of heavy disease pressure in Nanded, Aurangabad, Hingoli and Parbhani districts.
