The experiment was conducted to assess the effect of environmental factors in relation to development of anthracnose disease of black gram during kharif 2013 at RCA Udaipur.The observations on per cent disease index were recorded after 10 days of inoculation of most virulent isolate (MVL (Mavli)) of Colletotrichum lindemuthianum on a standard 0-5 disease rating scale on single susceptible cultivar (PUI-94-1) of black gram. July last two weeks were found favorable for initiation of disease and temperature ranged from 22°C to 29°C, relative humidity > 80% and optimum rainfall was found favorable for anthracnose disease development.
