Mango FAQ

Pests, Diseases & DisordersWhat should I examine when white wax appears around a declining mango's root ball?

Include root mealybugs among the possibilities. These insects can occupy the interface between roots and the container as well as the interior root mass. Inspect a safely removed root ball with magnification and distinguish moving insects from mineral deposits or fungal growth. Keep the plant apart while obtaining identification; a clean canopy does not exclude an underground infestation.
