Bean anthracnose is a seedborne fungal disease caused by Colletotrichum lindemuthianum that affects many legume crops worldwide. The disease causes reddish-brown lesions on pods and leaves that produce pink spores in moist conditions, reducing crop yields. The fungus spreads primarily via contaminated seeds and crop debris, with secondary spread by rain splash and wind under favorable conditions of 13-26°C, 92% humidity, and moderate rainfall. Management strategies include crop rotation, seed treatment, fungicide application, soil solarization, and biological controls using Trichoderma viride or plant extracts.
