Oidium mangiferae is a plant pathogen that infects mango trees causing powdery mildew. [1] Powdery mildew of mango is an Ascomycete pathogen of the Erysiphales family that was initially described by Berthet in 1914, using samples collected from Brazil. [2]
The nymphs and females suck plant sap from inflorescences, tender leaves, shoots and fruit peduncles. [2] As a result, the infested inflorescences dry up, affects the fruit set, causing fruit drop. These bugs also exude honey dew over the mango tree leaves, on which sooty mold fungus develops reducing the photosynthetic efficiency of the tree.
Elsinoë mangiferae produces symptoms superficially similar to anthracnose infections, which are also common on mango. The disease initially presents as small dark brown or gray spots on the underside of leaves or fruit. These spots enlarge and darken over time, developing a velvety or cracked texture in the center of the lesion. [2]
Fruit yields can be maintained if infected trees are well irrigated and fertilized. Chemical options include pre-planting chemicals to treat the soil. 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane can be used but it is restricted in many countries including the USA. High organic content in the rhizosphere can be used to have a temporary decline for the nematode ...
Capnodium mangiferae is a plant pathogen that causes mango black blight, forming black patches on mango leaves. [1] References This page was last edited on 10 ...
Fusarium mangiferae is one of the causal agents of malformation disease that affects mango (Mangifera indica, L.) growing regions and is economically important. [3] [4] [5] It causes mango malformation disease (MMD) and induces vegetative development abnormalities in shoots that leads to misshaped buds, short internodes, dwarf and narrow leaves.
Deporaus marginatus, commonly known as the mango leaf-cutting weevil, [1] is a species of leaf weevil in the beetle family Attelabidae. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] It is a light tan colour with black elytra (wing cases), [ 4 ] and is found in tropical Asia where it is a pest of mango ( Mangifera indica ).
Mangifera indica, commonly known as mango, is an evergreen [3] species of flowering plant in the family Anacardiaceae. [4] It is a large fruit tree, capable of growing to a height and width of 30 m (100 ft). [5] There are two distinct genetic populations in modern mangoes – the "Indian type" and the "Southeast Asian type". [citation needed]
