Hello, I need some help with identifying some problems (& hopefully the solutions) I have observed on my mango tree leaves. Some pics attached. Any help here would be great. Leaf covered with a white fungus and wrinkled - Only the new leaves seem straight / plain / healthy, mature leaves would g…

Dear aalcaponix, A couple of more questions before you go on to the cause and solutions The white matter - is it actually a powder or is it a sort of scaling? If you tend to remove it, does it get brushed off or does it come out in the form of epidermal scales? Primafacie the yellowing of lea…

Dear Amoldharkar, I too had the same issue in my farm and the leaves were wrinkling and the new blooming leaves were falling off. I went to a local store and bought some pesticides (a liquid and powder) and started spraying yesterday. I dont remember the pesticides on top of my head but will share …

Hi, Even my mango tree in my backyard has some issue that new tender leaves get cut exactly at a perticular point at all the buds. looks like someone has purposely trimmed the leaves; could be some insects mischief… :astonished: Can anyone suggest what could be the cause and remedy for this issue …

Dear Mr. Dharkar, I’ve tried to get a close-up of the spots, please let me know in case I need to get better ones. We don’t use any fertilizer for the tree regularly. For some years (till about 4 - 5 years ago) we’ve used a handful of urea around the base as fertilizer - a month before and after t…

Dear Gautam, Thanks for the photographs. Yes it seems to be a deficiency symptom. I suggest you to get it sprayed with chelated micronutrients (as I said earlier - Magnesium, Iron and Calcium). There are state grades of micronutrients mixtures available for each state. I suggest you use one of thes…

Hi, I am also having same problem. The leaves are getting cut as if done by a blade, leaving about 20% in the tree. Searched the net but could not find any pointers as to what is causing this. Any solution to this problem? Preferably organic. with regards, raj

Dear Mr Raj, If possible upload some photographs of the problem that you are facing. As you mentioned that you are interested in organic control measure - spray a neem based product at preferably weekly intervals till the new leaves appear and grow without these problems. Regards amoldharkar@hotm…

Sorry it took some time, as I waited for new leaves to appear. The pics are attached. I have attached 3 photos, one a close up of the damage done. Second the fallen leaves and in the third picture two ants which could be the pests causing this. with regards, raj [image] [image] [image]
