Mango Powdery Mildew

Powdery mildew, along with bacterial necrosis and flower malformation, is one of the most damaging and common diseases found in Andalusian mango plantations. The symptoms are obvious and easily recognized, but if not properly controlled, they can lead to yield losses and, in some cases, affect crop quality. Furthermore, once it occurs once, it is very likely to recur annually, or even within a single year, if conditions are favorable for its development. This document aims to provide the necessary guidelines for recognizing the disease, as well as a series of recommendations for its control.
