Abstract: Passion fruit (Passiflora spp.) is one of the main tropical fruit trees cultivated in Brazil, in addition to being the world's main producer of the crop. The northeast region is responsible for 70% of national productivity. Some factors present themselves as obstacles, including phytosanitary problems caused mainly by fungi. Anthracnose, caused by species of the genus Colletotrichum, is one of the main factors contributing to reduced production. Knowing the importance of this pathogen for culture and the great diversity of species of this fungal genus, it is essential to have knowledge about the appropriate techniques for controlling the disease. Chemical management is one of the most important tools in the control of fungal diseases, with fungicides, used appropriately, considered important and essential inputs for the management of these pathogens, with knowledge of specific factors of the plant, the environment and, mainly, of the pathogen that will define the application of the product. The fungicides Difenoconazole, Pyraclostrobin, Flutriafol and the mixture of Azoxystrobin + Difenoconazole are one of the most studied for the control of various economically important crops. However, modern agriculture tends towards the idea of quality production and comes to complement the use of fungicides. Biological control with Trichoderma and Bacillus has been gaining ground due to the good results in terms of controlling phytopathogens through antagonism.
