ITH THE DEVELOPMENT and _ increased 
propagation of the mango in Florida various 
insect enemies have made their appearance, and, 
when abundant in a grove, often cause considerable 
injury. Some of these insects are native and have 
adapted themselves to the mango, others may have 
been introduced into the State. 
All parts of the mango—fruit, blossom, foliage, 
trunk, and branches—are attacked. The grower 
should watch his trees carefully for insect pests and 
apply control measures promptly. This bulletin con- 
tains brief descriptions of the principal pests attack- 
ing the mango in Florida and information on their 
life histories and the means, in each case, found most 
effective for combating them. The more serious 
foreign insect enemies of the mango are considered 
briefly, that the grower may recognize them and their 
work, should any of them enter the United States 
despite the rigid quarantines designed to keep them 
out.
