Abstract

Plant diseases and pests are important factors determining plant yield production, including mango. Mango is an economically important fruit crop in tropical and subtropical areas. Mango fruit rot caused by insects and microbes has become a significant threat to mango production in Southeast Asia and worldwide. Insect plant pathogens affect crop yields' profitability, quality, and quantity. Some infections could occur before harvest and remain dormant until the favourable condition is achieved, and the disease will break out after harvest, reducing mango production. They act as a threat to the crops through various mechanisms of pathogenesis that compromise the immune system of the plants, such as developing any ways to attack the plants, seeking entry via open pores or exposed surface or wound, and sourcing nutrients forcefully for their growth and development. Depending on the environmental factors, the insect contracts the host through primary or secondary infection. This paper summarizes mango fruit rot disease caused by insects groups such as fruit borers (Autocharis albizonalis and Citripestis eutraphera), fruit flies (Bactrocera dorsalis), and mango seed weevils (Sternochetus mangiferae). This review will provide information about fruit rot diseases on mangoes caused by insects, the mechanism of infection, the interaction between insect damage and fungal infections, effective control methods, and related integrated pest management approaches.

Abstract

Dung-associated insects, often referred as coprophagous insects and detritivores, help break down organic matter, returning essential nutrients to the soil and promoting plant growth. Their activities not only enhance soil structure and fertility but also aid in pest control by reducing the populations of parasites and pathogens associated with animal waste. Understanding the complex relationships between dung-inhabiting insects and their environment highlights the crucial role these creatures play in maintaining ecological balance. These insects facilitate nutrient cycling and contribute to overall biodiversity. It plays a crucial role in promoting healthy ecosystems, as its presence can lead to improved soil health and increased agricultural productivity. Implementing integrated pest management practices that encourage the presence of dung-inhabiting insects can further enhance their role in sustainable agriculture, promoting a balanced ecosystem where both crops and beneficial organisms grow well. This approach not only promotes biodiversity but also enables farmers to adopt more environmentally friendly practices that contribute to long-term agricultural resilience.
