The result showed that instar one and adult were preferred to associate with weeds under the mango canopy and borders compare to mango leaves except second instar. Further, observation was presented that all the age structures were given equal male female sex ratio.   Based on total population numbers, there wasnt significantly difference of age structure and sex ratio of S. dorsalis associate with weeds inside the orchard including mango leaves and borders.   Twenty seven species of weeds were discovered associate with mango agroecosystem and comprehensively discused based on the most dominance and preferred by S. dorsalis.  Key Words: S. dorsalis, age structure, sex ratio, mango, weeds.
