Battling Mango Fruit Flies | Protecting Mango Crops from Major Losses

Описание: Mango fruit flies are among the most destructive pests threatening mango production. These tiny insects lay their eggs inside ripening mangoes, and once hatched, the larvae feed on the fruit’s flesh — causing it to rot, drop prematurely, and result in massive yield losses. Typical infestations can wipe out 25–30% of a harvest, and in severe cases, losses can reach up to 90%.
