1) Powdery mildew
2) Blossom blight
3) Malformation
4) Anthracnose
5) Stem end rot
6) Mango sudden death
 Symptoms
a. On inflourescence, leaves and young fruits
b. White superficial powdery growth
c. Effected flowers may fall prematurely
d. Drooping of unfertilized infected flowers and
young fruits leads to serious crop losses
 Prunning reduces the primary innoculum
 3 sprays of systematic fungicides during
flowering season are recommended at 12-15
days interval
 First spray at 25% bud induction
Symptoms :
 Blackish brown spots on peduncle and
flowers
 Small black spots appear on the panicle and
open flowers which gradually enlarge and
cause death of flowers
 The infected flowers fall off and cause serious
crop losses upto 10-90%
 Diseased parts should be pruned and burnt
 Blossom infection can be controlled
effectively by 2-3 sprays of contact or
systematic fungicides during spring season at
12-15 days interval
  Serious threat to mango growing areas of
Pakistan as it causes crop losses upto 70%
 Two types of malformation
1. Vegetative malformation
2. Floral malformation
 Effected seedling develop excessive
vegetative branches which are of limited
growth, swollen an d have very short
internodes
 Floral MF is disease of inflourescence.
Reduction and compact of internodes giving
malformation a broom like appearance.
1. Avoid scion stick from trees bearing
malformed inflourescence for propagation
2. Only certified plants used for propagation
3. Infected terminals should be pruned with 15-
20 cm healthy portion and burnt
 Disease is more common on young fruits and
during transit and storage
 On storage, black spots are produced, spots
are round but later they become large on
entire fruit
 The spots have large deep cracks
 Fungus penetrate deep into the fruit causing
extensive rotting
 Spraying copper based fungicides
 Fruit treatment with hot water or fungicide
solution after harvest to eradicate left over
infection
 Lime solution (2%)
 Symptoms
 Fruit on ripening becomes brown to black
 Fruit becomes black at stem end and disease
progress downward
 The affected skin remains firm but decay sets
into pulp and emits unpleasant odour
 Copper based fungicides
 Fruit should be harvested with 10mm stalk
 Proper handling of fruits can minimize the
disease incidence
 Hot water treatment for 15 minutes at 55 C
 Vector mango bark beetle
Symptoms:
1. Wilting
2. Canker over areas of vascular discolorization
3. Canker will make exudate gum from stem
4. Wilted leaves dry and curl,but no defoliation
for several weeks
 Earlier detection is imp
