Pests, Diseases & DisordersDoes choosing an anthracnose-resistant mango eliminate disease management?

Resistance can reduce risk, but it should not be interpreted as immunity under every growing condition. Compare local performance during wet flowering seasons rather than relying on a nursery description alone. Continue inspecting susceptible growth and keep records of actual fruit losses. Resistance is most useful as one part of a planting decision that also considers the site, canopy conditions, and the level of blemishing acceptable for the intended market.
