Pests, Diseases & DisordersCan small plant bugs cause mango fruitlets to drop?
Some mirid bugs can injure flowers and newly set fruit, but natural shedding makes fruitlet loss alone a weak diagnosis. Examine fresh feeding injuries and collect bugs from the affected panicles for identification. Compare the timing of bug activity with the onset of losses. Recording injured fruitlets separately from unmarked fallen ones helps an adviser determine whether insects are contributing enough damage to warrant action.
