Abstract	Papaya (Carica papaya L.) is a popular and economically important fruit tree of tropical and subtropical countries [1]. The leading global producers of papaya are Brazil, Colombia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Guatemala, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Nigeria and Philippines [2]. Papaya is known as “common man’s fruits’’. It is rich sources of vitamin A, C and calcium. The ripe fruit is prone to many diseases, among which anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (Penz.) Penz & Sacc. is an economically important disease during transit, storage and market [3-5]. In general, the fungus initiates infection as soon as flowering starts and stays latent until the postharvest environment conditions favor colonization of fruit tissue [3,6]. According to Coursey [7], postharvest losses of approximately 40100% have been generally reported in papaya in developing countries.
