Abstrakt: Strawberry is a popular red berry fruit crop known for its sweet flavor and juicy texture. It is grown commercially worldwide for its delicious and high nutritious properties. Although in the cultivation of strawberries it is consistently threatened by fungal pathogens like foliar pathogens namely Colletotrichum, Mycosphaerella, Alternaria and Botrytis also, soil borne pathogens like Fusarium, Macrophomina, Phytophthora and Verticillium which causes more significant yield loss. The excess use of fungicides and soil fumigants like methyl bromide for managing these diseases has led to residue accumulation and fertility depletion of native soil. Effective disease management strategies are essential for sustainable cultivation practices. Therefore, understanding the dynamics in interaction between the host and cultivars will essentially help in developing sustainable and potential biocontrol agents. This review highlights the impact of fungal pathogens in strawberry, the role of different cultivars in disease susceptibility as well as resistance. Also the diverse biocontol agents used for managing strawberry pathogens has been discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
