Here are two contenders that may be responsible for the symptoms you describe:
1) Anthracnose *(Colletotrichum *state of *Glomerella cingulata* Ston, Spaull and Schrenk) : Severe infection destroys the entire inflorescence resulting in no setting of fruits.Tender shoots and foliage are easily affected which ultimately cause ‘die back’ of young branches. Older twigs may also be infected through wounds which in severe cases may be fatal.Depending on the prevailing weather conditions blossom blight may vary in severity from slight to a heavy infection of the panicles. 2) a) Powdery mildew (*Oidium mangiferae* Berthet) : The affected flowers and fruits drop pre-maturely reducing the crop load considerably or might even prevent the fruit set. The characteristic symptom of the disease is the white superficial powdery fungal growth on leaves, stalks of panicles, flowers and young fruits. http://www.horticultureworld.net/mango-india2.htm best regards, rakesh From: shomi gupta <22sh...@gmail.com> Date: Tue, May 22, 2012 at 11:55 AM ya that's true, flies and insects move around those (sprouted) bunches ........... regards shomi P.S.: But I want to know something more precise about that feature of mango tree.
