Discussion

The study demonstrates aloe vera's potential in managing mango anthracnose, highlighting effective concentrations and antimicrobial compounds.

Aloe vera gel at 10% concentration achieved significant inhibition of mango anthracnose.
Mangoes infected with anthracnose were analyzed, revealing 99% identity with known C. gloeosporioides sequences.
In vitro tests demonstrated the efficacy of aloe vera gel, which yielded several antimicrobial compounds identified via GC-MS.
This study suggests a promising natural method for controlling post-harvest diseases in mango production.

Theradimani et al. (2025) studied this question.
