Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate different inoculation methods for disease development in mango. For this rationale the present investigation was carried out under laboratory conditions during, 2016 at CCS, HAU, Hisar. The variation in different inoculation method for mango anthracnose development was tested by spray, pinprick and dipping inoculation method. All these three different method of inoculation established its pathogenic nature producing anthracnose symptoms on the inoculated green leaves and fruits. The disease symptoms appeared on mango leaves and fruits after 36 hours of pin prick inoculation method at 25±1ËšC. However, disease symptoms appeared on leaves and fruits after 48 hours of spray and dipping inoculation methods at 25±1ËšC. Maximum disease severity of 71.1 and 77.7 per cent was recorded on mango leaves and fruits, respectively, when leaves and fruits were inoculated by pin prick method.
