Mango production in the South of Senegal is exposed to intensive rainfall from late May to October, with high temperature and moisture levels. These conditions are conducive for the development of anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (sensu lato) causing huge losses in the field and after harvest. The incidence of anthracnose is very high in the agroclimate of Casamance during the rainy season. Premature fruit drop, pre- and postharvest fruit spots and fruit rot are the usual symptoms of mango anthracnose. Attempts to control the disease with biofungicides were carried out. Protective treatments with the biofungicides allowed reducing significatively the incidence of the disease as well as its severity. The protective effect of the biofungicides was rated almost as good as that of conventional fungicides. When applied for curative action on naturally infected mangoes, the biofungicides Sonata and Serenade were found very efficient; they were nevertheless a bit less effective than the conventional fungicides thiophanate methyl and azoxystrobin.
