Effect of canopy architecture on mango scale population, damage, and mango fruit quality.

Abstract

In three mango canopy management systems (narrow hedge, narrow espalier, wide open-vase) and three mango varieties (Calypso, Keitt, Yess!) the intensity of mango scale infestations was monitored. Subsequently for two years scale damage and fruit quality outcomes were assessed for Calypso variety in the three canopy management systems.
