“…Although the production as well as cultivation areas of mango crop are higher, mango productivity is still low (6.3 million tonnes/hectare) due to various factors (biotic and abiotic) affecting its growth. Mango malformation is the serious threat among these leading to reduction (40-80% every year in India) in the mango production (Kumar et al, 2011;Misra, 2016 andRaj et al, 2017). Mango malformation: Mango malformation is reported to be one of the most deleterious diseases of mango in environment (Ploetz, 2001 andRymbai andRajesh, 2011).…”

“…Mango management strategies vary among different mango-producing countries (Freeman et al, 2014). Following measures including use of plant growth regulators, insecticides, pesticides and biopesticides, deblossming, pruning of malformed areas, etc alone or in combinationhave resulted in control of disease to some aspect (Kumar et al, 2011 andMisra, 2016). Malformation is correlated with occurrence and timing of flowering in plants.…”

Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is one of the important commercial crops occupying a prominent place among various fruit crops. Mango malformation is a crucial malady in mango production leading to heavy economic loss. Malformation occurs in vegetative as well as floral tissue, later being virulent leading to loss of entire crop. Fusarium moniliforme is suggested as dominant causal agent of the disease although association of 'stress ethylene' with disease occurrence has also been studied. Fungal pathogens responsible for the malady are known to elevate the level of 'stress ethylene' in malformed plants. Various reports have been put forward to explain the etiology and control measures of the disease but nature and management of the disease is still a mystery. Hence, the present review aims at offering information regarding aspects of development and management of mango malformation.
