abstract
Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is an important fruit crop grown in different parts of India. Mango hopper is a major pest of mango causing severe yield losses. Three species of mango hopper viz., Idioscopus nitidulus, I. clypealis and Amritodus atkinsoni are commonly found all over India. As the losses due to mango hopper could be as high as 60-70 percent in the absence of control measures, many insecticides have been recommended world-wide to control the pest. Different agricultural universities have developed their own schedule for the management of mango hopper. Also, efforts have been made under the All India Coordinated Research Project on Fruits to manage the mango hopper with the minimum use of insecticides.
