Abstract :

Mango bacterial canker disease (MBCD) caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. mangiferaeindicae (Xcmi) is

one of the important diseases of mango affecting a number of commercial cultivars. The pathogen affects different
plant parts like leaf, stem and fruit. Favorable environmental conditions cause severe loss to the crop. The in-vivo studies were performed on
immature fruits of mango. An attempt was made for the management of Mango Bacterial Canker Disease (MBCD) using antibiotics. Fruits
inoculated with Xcmi strains then antibiotics were applied on it. The fruits were incubated in laboratory at room temperature and the results
were recorded after 7 days. Out of various antibiotics tested, four antibiotics viz. Chloramphenicol, Tetracycline, Gentamicin and Streptomycin were selected for in-vivo experiment. Tetracycline showed maximum activity against MBCD. The ultimate aim of the research work was
to develop a compatible management of MBCD by using suitable antibiotic.
