Pests, Diseases & DisordersCan pink blemishes on mango fruit come from scale insects?
Yes, mango scale feeding can leave pink blemishes. Inspect the marked area and nearby leaves for attached insects instead of assuming that all colored spots are fungal lesions. Keep several fruit showing early and advanced symptoms for comparison. In a commercial block, distinguish cosmetic rejection from internal decay when recording losses, because the evidence needed to improve fruit appearance differs from the evidence needed to investigate a rot.
