Abstract Papaya (Carica papaya L.) stands as one of the most delectable fruits globally, flourishing primarily in tropical and sub-tropical climates. Despite its widespread cultivation, the potential yield and marketability of papaya are continually threatened by various diseases. The susceptibility of papaya to an array of fungal, viral, and bacterial infections, such as Phytophthora root rot, anthracnose, powdery mildew, stem end rot, black spot disease, papaya ring spot, and papaya leaf curl, has impeded commercial production on a global scale. Among these diseases, Papaya ring spot virus, Phytophthora foot rot and anthracnose, incited by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides Penz. emerging as the most important problems those directly affecting the economic yield. This article delves into a comprehensive exploration of the symptoms, epidemiology, and control measures associated with the predominant papaya diseases prevalent in India. Furthermore, it elucidates effective strategies and control measures that can be employed to mitigate the impact of these diseases, offering valuable insights to farmers, researchers, and stakeholders involved in papaya cultivation.
