The
mango leaf was found infected with fungal disease. The infected parts were
observed under foldscope. Literatures suggests that different kind of fungal
diseases like phoma blight, anthracnose, red rust, mango malformation, shooty
mould etc, may occur on mango leaf surface.
This
kind of fungal infestation may cause loss of young shoots, flowers and limiting
fruit production. Spore production by these fungi is favored by wet or humid
weather.
