The are the pest and disease of manggo plant

Tip Borer, Clumetia transverse
This worm gnawing the young shoots (flush) and flower with drilled / bored into shoots downward. Leaf or tassel flower buds wither, dry and damaged as a result of nutrient transport stops and then die. Control; branch is cut and burned infected shoots, to turn off the pupa, spraying with PESTONA.

Thrips (Scirtothrips dorsalis)
Pest thrips are often called red stripes on the first abdominal segment there is a red line. This pest attacks the young leaves but also flowers with piercing and sucking fluids from the epidermis of leaves and fruit. Place a puncture can be a source of disease. Looks like burning leaves, brown. If interest of the hand and placed underneath the base with a white paper will look a lot thrips that fell. Control: developing young shoots cut and burned, caught by yellow traps, regular pruning, spraying with BVR or PESTONA

Fruit Flies (Bractocera dorsalis)
The fruit is attacked first black dots appear, at about the point of being yellow, rotten fruit and larval development occurred. Agravator is possible that secondary pests (Drosophilla sp.), Fungi and bacteria. Control: fruit packaging, fruit fly trapping.

Antraknose disease (Colletotrichum sp.)
Black spots occur on the flush, leaves and fruit. The attacks intensified if too moist, many clouds, rain during the flowering time and night time dew that many arise. If the interest affected the entire crop will fail because the rate to fall. Control: pruning, planting should not be too tight, the infected plants were collected and burned.

Recife disease, Diplodia recifensis
The disease vector was a beetle Xyleborus affinis. These beetles make tunnels in the trunk / branches and fungus Diplodia then go into the tunnel. Outside the venue will be out gnawing beetles (sap). Mango diseases such as sooty (mushrooms Meliola mangiferae), scabies / scab (Elsinoe mangiferae), red rust spots (algae Cephaleuros sp.)

Caterpillars Phylotroctis sp.
Slightly brown color (different from Clumetia sp. The color green) bored into the base of the candidates often flower. Eggs Phyloctroctis sp. hatch and young adults to attack the fruit stalk (nipple). Young fruit abscission layer in the autumn as the fruit stalk blackish pus. Active at night. Control with PESTONA.

Seed Borer, Noorda albizonalis
The pest is gnawing a fruit at the end or middle of the dirt and generally leave scars and often cause fruit rupture. This worm gnawing a direct consequence of fruit seeds fruit rot and fall. Unlike the Black Borer is gnawing at the base of the fruit pieces. Hole can be a source of disease. Control: fruit packaging, collect the fruit attacked and burned, spray with PESTONA.

Mango leaf hoppers (Idiocerus sp.)
The attack came as tassel flower bud elongation. Nymphs and adult leaf hoppers suck attack simultaneously with the liquid on the flowers, so dry, pollination and fruit formation interrupted and then die. Severe attacks occur when hot humid weather supported. These pests can invite disease emergence and development of sooty (sooty mold) with honey dew issued from the planthopper may cause phytotoxic on buds, leaves and flowers. Control: fumigation, spraying BVR / PESTONA before the flowers bloom / in the afternoon.
