Mango blossom midge -An emerging pest of mango in Andhra Pradesh
Dr. D. Srinivasa Reddy, Scientist (Ento), HRS, Anantharajupata observed severe incidence of blos- som/Inflorescence midge in mango in all the varieties viz., Alphonso, Neelum, Pulihora, Banglora and Baneshan. In the survey, 100 percent damage was observed in Alphonso cultivar in certain orchards followed by Bangalora, Neelum and Baneshan where the damage could be 35-50 percent. Early incidence causes more damage as entire inflorescence is destroyed even before fruit set. The inflorescence shows stunted growth and its axis bends at the entry point of the larvae and finally dries up before fruit set. Infestation was noticed at bud-burst stage, at fruit set and on tender leaves of new flushes. The midge emergence was coincided with panicle emergence in mango and more number of adults emerged during cooler period when the temperatures was low i.e. 20 to 24OC and mango is the only host known so far.
