Abstract: Among the various fungicides, biocontrol agents, phytoextracts and essential oils on post harvest management of banana anthracnose under fruit dip method; twelve treatments including a control were applied. Results revealed that fruit treatment with carbendazim 12% + mancozeb 63% WP tested at 0.05% concentration gave minimum disease intensity (11.54%) and it was significantly superior over control and remaining other treatments. For obtaining residue free organic banana fruits cinnamon oil at 0.1% and T. harzianum (106 cfu/ml) were found best which minimized 36.87 and 52.89 per cent disease, respectively. Minimum weight loss of 9.31% was recorded in carbendazim 12% + mancozeb 63% WP and shelf life of fruits treated with these was also more (10 days) as compared to the untreated control fruits (3 days). Therefore, by economical and eco-friendly disease management shelf life and storage time of banana fruits were increased and maintained the quality of fruits.
