Pests, Diseases & DisordersWhat clues suggest mango shoot looper rather than a leaf disease?
Look for skeletonized leaf surfaces, missing flower tissue, and caterpillars moving with a looping motion. Photograph larvae and their feeding sites together so the association is clear. Damage can advance quickly, making prompt identification more useful than waiting for the entire panicle to be stripped. Where this pest is unusual or subject to reporting, seek local plant health instructions before moving infested shoots or attempting to rear the insects.
