nthracnose (Greek anthrax - idol, nosos - disease) is a disease caused by parasitic fungi belonging to the genera Gloeosporium, Colletotrichum and Kabatilla in the stems, leaves and fruits of plants. Anthracnose disease mainly occurs in cereal crops, fruit crops (alfalfa, peas, quince, apple, vine, fig, walnut, melon, watermelon, grape, currant, raspberry, almond, flax), citrus plants, tea, etc. . It damages the leaves, fruits, branches, and root parts of the plant. Leaves and buds fall off, the quality of the fruit decreases sharply. Round brown spots with a dark border appear on a leaf infected with anthracnose, and the surface of the spot that appears on the stem and fruit is covered with a concave, pinkish powder, which then cracks and forms a wound. The causative agent develops in the form of conidia in the summer, its spores are transmitted through damaged seeds, plant residues, spread by water or insects, rarely by wind. Anthracnose is rampant in the years when the summer is wet. Spores of this fungus develop well in moist air and at a temperature of 20-24°, their development slows down when the temperature reaches 28-30°. Anthracnose disease is very dangerous for melons and watermelons. Young sprouts, leaves, stems, and fruits of rice crops infected with anthracnose are damaged, root canals, seed pods, and above-ground parts of legumes are damaged. Anthracnose on vines also causes great damage to the national economy. Vine leaves, fruits and stems are damaged. Large brown spots appear on the leaves, and brown spots appear on the fruit. Anthracnose disease in vines is more common in Central Asia and Transcaucasia. Cotton anthracnose is found in Europe, Asia, Africa, Central and South America, Australia and Oceania. It is not found in Uzbekistan and is considered a quarantine object.
