| Summary: | An infestation of a snout weevil Alcidodes sp. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) on Mangifera
indica L. (Anacardiaceae) was scientifically reported for the first time in Malaysia. This
snout weevil causes severe damage on young stems and flower panicles. Even though the tree
survived from a few infestations, but severe cases could pose a serious economic implication
on the productivity of the crop. Thus more research regarding the pest management of M.
indica is required to maximize mango production in Malaysia. |
