Pests, Diseases & DisordersWhy do mango scale recommendations mention the crawler stage?
Crawlers are the mobile young stage, and scale management can depend on matching an intervention to their activity. A treatment aimed at a vulnerable stage should not be scheduled solely from the date fruit was harvested last year. Ask how to monitor the identified scale locally and keep records of the observations. That makes timing a response to the insect's development rather than an automatic calendar routine.
