Abstract : An in vitro technique for proving the pathogenicity of C. capsici on detached non-wounded green and red chilli fruits was developed within a minimum possible time. The non-wounded (without any pin pricking or injury on skin) fruits were spot inoculated by placing 20 µl conidial suspension (3-4 conidia/ µl) of C. capsici in water gelatine (2.0%) using micropipette In this technique, recovery of the test pathogen from inoculated fruits was 100% without any contamination. The method developed in the present study could be useful in ascertaining the pathogenicity and for virulence analysis of a large number of isolates of the pathogen on fruits of several cultivars of chillies within a short period of time under laboratory conditions.
