Common
Insects of Mango
This
is also from my subject Crop Protection 2.
According to my previous blog in titled Common
Diseases in Mango, there are some diseases that we can find in Mango crop. In
addition to that, we can also find some insects that are also one of the
problems in planting Mango crop.
Insects are the largest group in the animal kingdom.
Scientists estimate there are over 1 million insect species on the planet,
living in every conceivable environment from volcanoes to glaciers.
Insects help us by pollinating our food crops,
decomposing organic matter, providing researchers with clues to a cancer cure,
and even solving crimes. They can also harm us, such as by spreading diseases
and damaging plants and structures.
So
here are the following common insects of Mango:
¢ Circular-white
back borer
¢ Green
beetle
¢ Mango
cecid fly
¢ Mango
thrips
¢ Mealy

¢ June

¢ Scale

¢ Termite

¢ Tent

¢ Mango

¢ Twig

The
IPM strategies make use of cultural management (pruning, cultivation,
sanitation, proper nutrition to enhance vigor and fruit bagging) conservation
of beneficial insects (pollinators and bio-con agents) and proper pesticide
management.
