    Causal organism: Colletotrichum capsici.  Management of Ripe Fruit-Rot and Die-Back Disease: (i) Healthy seeds should be selected from disease-free fruits. Rotting twigs should be cut along with some healthy portion and burnt. Diseased plants in the field should be identified and destroyed. (ii) Crop rotation checks the soil-borne infection inoculum. (iii) Seeds should be treated with carbendazim (0.25%) before sowing. Seedlings should be dipped in carbendazim (0.1%) before transplanting. (iv) It has been reported that 3-4 sprays of Blitox-50 (at 0.5-1.0% concentration) and four sprays of Zenab (at 0.25% concentration) have been found most effective in controlling both ripe fruit-rot and die-back stages of the disease.
