Morphological analysis of suppression of anthracnose lesion development on matured fruits of Surajmukhi variety of Capsicum annuum induced by Trichoderma asperellum and T. harzianum and in combination of treatment of T. asperellum + T. harzianum upon C. truncatum challenged condition and C. truncatum inoculated fruits. The bioprimed seeds were grown in greenhouse condition and the fruits were infected with acervuli of C. truncatum under laboratory conditions. Seeds bioprimed with T. asperellum, T. harzianum and T. asperellum + T. harzianum under challenged conditions showed no lesion compared to C. truncatum inoculated fruits. Unprimed and unchallenged (control) showed no development of anthracnose lesion. Photographs were taken at 0 h, 2- and 4-days post inoculation (dpi)
