Abstract

A field experiment was conducted at Regional Horticultural Research Station, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari. The population of mango leaf hoppers was measured throughout the year. Higher population of hoppers was observed from flower initiation to the stone-sized fruits stage. Thrips appeared from third week of August to second week of June. The population of thrips slowly multiplied and attained peak level during second week of April. Incidence of leaf gall midge oriented damage was observed throughout the year. Leaf webber or tent caterpillar was seen to be infesting old foliage during October and November. Moreover, fruit flies were observed during the months of April to July.
