Cowpea [Vigna sinensis (L.) Savi] is an ancient legume crops and major source of protein. The cowpea is affected by various fungal diseases. Among those Colletotrichum lindemuthianum is a seed and soil borne fungus causing the anthracnose disease in Cowpea. Most of the promising cowpea cultivars are under a great threat for profitable cultivation due to the attack of Fungi, bacteria, virus and nematodes. The major losses of cowpea are covered by fungi, in which anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum lindemuthianum is more important. A various bio-agents, botanicals and fungicide were applied for integrated management of pathogen. The minimum disease intensity (13.63%) and disease incidence (16.67%) was recorded in treatments T9 (Carbendazim12%+ mancozeb 63%) SAAF @ 0.2% followed by (14.61% and 23.33%) in treatment T4 (Copper oxy chloride @ 0.2%) and seed treatments with Ajwain seed extract + spray of Ajwain seed extract was found effective in reducing disease incidence (42.97%) and increase in grain yield (54.86). Application of Trichoderma as seed treatment + foliar spray were also effective in reduce disease incidence (39.00%) and increase grain yield (50.00%).
