The Solution for Pest Control on Mango Trees

One of the common pests on mango trees that farmers need to pay special attention to are fruit borers and leaf-cutting caterpillars. Agrifuture has compiled effective prevention and control solutions for these two types of pests in the article. Wishing farmers a successful and economically efficient orchard.

Fruit borers, stems, branches:

a) Harmful characteristics:

Fruit borers cause damage at all stages of fruit growth. Young borers usually damage by entering the fruit stalk and then penetrating inside, causing damage that leads to fruit rot and drop. Fruit fly lays eggs on the fruit skin, especially on ripe mangoes, and after a period, the fly larvae hatch and penetrate inside the mango, causing damage that leads to fruit rot and drop.

b) Prevention and control measures:

Agrifuture recommends using effective products to prevent and control fruit borer infestations such as AF - Fenromat 26SC.

• Product information for AF - Fenromat 26SC:

Characteristics and Uses:

AF - Fenromat 26SC is formulated from a unique blend of two advanced active ingredients with two separate, powerful insecticidal mechanisms.
The pesticide directly affects the peripheral nervous system and inhibits ACC, disrupting the lipid synthesis process in insects. Therefore, the pesticide is immediately effective, even against resistant pests, and remains efficacious for several days after application.
Usage Instructions:

AF - Fenromat 26SC is registered for controlling tunneling pests on peanuts.

Dosage: 500ml per hectare. Dilute 20ml in a 25-liter tank of water.
Water volume: 450 - 500 liters per hectare.
Timing: Apply when pests are newly emerged (1-2 weeks old), with a density of about 1-2 pests per plant.
Re-entry interval: 14 days.

For Leaf-Eating Insects:

a) Harmful Characteristics:

These insects typically appear in nurseries or on young shoots and leaves, causing damage by feeding on foliage and reducing plant growth.

b) Control Measures:

Agrifuture recommends using effective pest control products such as Af - Metazone 22SC.

Product Information for Af - Metazone 22SC :

Characteristics and Uses:

Af-Metazone 22SC is a new generation product with the ability to effectively control most types of pesticide-resistant pests through a specialized mechanism. The pesticide inhibits muscle contraction, resulting in a continuous flow to specific GABA and H-Glutamate sites. Additionally, it also blocks sodium channels by selectively binding to slow inactive states. Therefore, Af-Metazone 22SC is completely superior to similar products.

Instructions for Use:

Af-Metazone 22SC is registered for controlling leaf miners on peanuts.

Dosage: 0.5 liters per hectare. Mix 20ml with 25 liters of water. Water volume: 500 liters per hectare.

Application timing: when pests first appear (1-2 weeks old). Density: about 1-2 pests per plant.

Re-entry interval: 7 days.

We wish you successful application and a fruitful orchard with good quality and high economic efficiency!
