Notes: [VII International Mango Symposium, Recife, Brazil. Pinto, A.C.Q., Pereira, M.E.C, Alves, R.E. (Eds.)] A good sampling and monitoring program for insects and mites is essential for implementing an integrated pest management program for mango pests. While some progress has been made for individual species, precise and pro-active sampling programs in mango agroecosystems continue to be in their infancy. Mango flowers are attacked by midges, leafhoppers, caterpillars, thrips, as well as mites. The spatial distribution of Rastrococcus invadens Williams a polyphagous mealybug infesting leaves, flowers and fruits was studied by Boavida et al. (1992) who developed binomial sampling plans for estimating population levels.
