Pests, Diseases & DisordersHow can I separate fungus gnats from shore flies around mango nursery pots?

Fungus gnats are slender, mosquito-like flies with long legs and clear wings. Shore flies are stockier and commonly have pale spots on dark wings. Their larvae have different feeding habits, so identify collected adults rather than treating every small greenhouse fly as a root feeder. Examine the growing medium and algae separately to establish which conditions support the population.
