Abstract : Dropped fruits of several mango cvs showed abnormal growth and shape and were one third the size of normal fruits. Fusarium oxysporum was associated with fruit drop. In 2-year trials Dithane M-45 [mancozeb] at 0.25% or copper oxychloride at 0.25% applied at 15-day intervals from 1 January until fruit set (May) gave good control.
