Developing a Mango Spray Programme for Optimum Yield and Quality
This research paper details the development of an integrated spray programme tested by Syngenta, Westfalia Technological Services, and QMS Agri Science. It addresses pest complexes (thrips, seed weevil, mango scale, mealybug) and diseases (powdery mildew, anthracnose, stem-end rot), demonstrating how coordinated use of fungicides and insecticides improves fruit quality and reduces post-harvest losses.
Readers benefit by gaining a practical, research-based protocol for boosting yields and meeting export standards.
The document is intended for commercial mango farmers, crop protection specialists, and agribusiness managers.
