Anthracnose of chilli caused by Colletotrichum capsici is a widespread problem limiting the profitable cultivation of chilli in Manipur. An experiment on antifungal efficacy of four plant extracts viz., Garlic (Allium sativum), Neem (Azadirachta indica), Citronella (Cymbopogon spp), Ginger (Zingiber officinale) and three Cow urine, Cow dung, Cow milk viz., Cow urine, Cow dung, Cow milk and honey was done through poisoned food technique by setting three concentrations in in vitro conditions against C. capsici. The results revealed that among the plant extracts, garlic had shown 70.19 per cent inhibition at 5 per cent concentration and among the Cow urine, Cow dung, Cow milk and honey, cow milk had shown 69.80 per cent inhibition at 15 per cent concentration. Present study suggests that Garlic and cow milk could be tried for the eco-friendly management of the disease. Citronella extract and cow dung found to be less effective.
