Abstract : The resistance of mango cultivars to O. mangiferae was studied in Piracicaba, State of São Paulo, Brazil. No differences in resistance were observed among the rootstocks tested. Grafts were more important for manifestation of resistance. Cultivars Extrema, Pahiri and Bourbon were the most susceptible, while Oliveira, Imperial and Carlota were more resistant. Flowering occurred from May to Oct., with oidium occurring mostly from May to Sep.
