Pests, Diseases & DisordersHow can mango leafhopper egg laying injure flowers separately from sap feeding?
Numerous egg-laying punctures in flower stems can contribute to withering in addition to sap removal. Include the stalk tissue when examining damaged panicles rather than photographing only open flowers. Ask a diagnostician to assess punctures and identify the insects present. Understanding both injuries helps explain why a visibly intact flower cluster may decline without the missing petals expected from a chewing pest.
