Abstract:
The mango hopper is the most important insect pest of mango in India, causing significant crop losses. During the months of February and March, the mango hoppers (adults) began to appear together with the panicle emergence. This definitely suggests that the species is a bivoltine species that breeds twice. The insect then hibernated in tree trunk cracks and fissures. This work aids in the development of realistic models for seasonal hopper distribution, as hoppers are a major obstacle during flowering season.
