The research has been conducted experimentally using a CompletelyRandomized Design consisting of 5 treatments and 4 replications. The treatments are someconcentrations of noni fruit extract : 0%=Mo, 5%=M1,10%=M2,15%=M3 and 20%=M4. Result of theresearch indicated that the concentration of noni fruit extract gave a significantly different effect incontrolling anthracnose disease on post-harvested red chilli fruits. The concentration of noni fruit extractat 20% showed a better effect in controlling anthracnose disease on post-harvested red chilli fruits whichresulted in a smaller in-vitro colony growth of the causal fungal pathogen, a longer incubation period ofthe disease and a lower disease intensity.
