1. Several types of pests infect mango plants, which can be controlled through regular weeding, cleaning of mango orchards, and maintaining soil moisture.
2. Major pests include stem borers, which bore into stems causing damage or death of plants. Their management involves using well-decomposed manure, removing infected stems, and treating soil with insecticides.
3. Root grub is another pest where larvae feed on roots near the soil surface. Traps made from dry grass or straw placed around plants can help catch and remove them. Soil treatment with insecticides is also recommended.
