4. Inflorescence damage by
Hoppers
Adults lay eggs on flower buds and
inflorescence stalk.
Adults and Nymphs suck sack from flowers
Drying of flowers and dropping.
Secrete honey dew and sooty mould develops
on leaves- less photosynthesis.
3-4 generations in a season.
6. Thrips infested young
shoot
Thrips attack on tender leaves,
flowers and small fruits.
They scrap the leaves and fruits.
Leaves curl and growth is
affected.
Scratches on fruits.
10. Shoot Borer
•Adults are stout with green
wings
•Eggs are laid on leaves
•Caterpillars are yellowish orange
and grown up are pink
•Larvae bore in to the tender
shoots tunneling downwards.
•Leaves wither and drop down.

11. Inflorescence
Borer
Adults are stout with green
wings
Eggs are laid on leaves
Larvae feed on the
inflorescence stack
resulting into breakage of the
inflorescence.
12. Fruit Borer Damaged Fruits
• Adults lay eggs on fruits. Larvae
are long and pink in colour.
• The larvae eat the skin and pulp
and tunnel in to the fruit and
damage the fruits.
• Pupation in the bark of the tree.
• Severe in Telengana and coastal
dts.
14. Mango weevil - Damaged
cotyledons.
Adult weevil lay eggs on marble size fruits.
Grubs are light yellow in colour with dark
head.
Grubs bore in to the fruit and reach the
stone.
The hole disappears as the fruit grows.
Completes pupation in stone and adult
comes out on ripening.
Severe in CTR/Kdp dts on Totapuri and
neelam.
17. Fruit Fly - Infested fruit
Adult Flies are light brown in
colour.
Flies lay eggs under the skin of
the ripened fruits.
Maggots feed on the pulp and
the fruits become soft and rot.
Severe in Totapuri and Neelam
due to late maturity.
20. Mealy
bugs •Adult bugs lay eggs in soil
under the tree.
•Young ones climb the stem
and suck the sap from tender
leaves, stem, fruit and Fruit
stalk.
•Secrete honey dew and Sooty
mold develops.
23. Scales on leaves
Scale insects suck the sap from leaves and
Fruits and they become weakened resulting
In to reduction in quality and quantity.
24. Leaf Webber
Adults lay eggs on leaves.
Larvae feed on the leaf lamina and
skeletonize the leaves and webs the
leaves.
It also feeds on flowers and webs the
inflorescences.
Severe inTelengana
Nest of dried leaves
Larvae
28. Stem damage by the
larva
Mostly seen in neglected
gardens.
Larvae feed on branches and
stems by boring in to them.
Branches dry and tree
weakens.
31. Sooty mold on leaf
Develops on the secretion by Mealy bus and Hoppers.
Forms a black layer on leaves, flowers, fruits.
Interferes with Photosynthesis and reduces development and quality of fruits.
37. Black spots on
inflorescence
Anthracnose causes leaf spot and
flower dry.
Round brown or black spots are
seen on leaves flower stalk and
fruits.
Flowers and Fruits drop in severe
cases.
Reduction in photosynthesis,
drying of flower bunch dropping
of small fruits and rotting of
fruits.
Anthracnose
40. Twig blight due to C. gloeosporiodes
It is caused by 3 different fungi.
Botryodiplodia-drying of small
branches.
Gleosporium- drying of branch
from tip backwards.
Colletotrichum- Drying of the tips
of tender shoots.
Active and spreads fast in rainy
season.
41. Inflorescence with powdery
mildew
PM attacks in winter season.
White powdery growth forms
on leaves, flowers and small
fruits.
Flower and fruit drop is seen.
Growth of the leaves and fruits
is affected.
