| Experiment Background | Mango is attacked by more than 400 pests in the world (Tandon and Verghese, 1985). Several fruit borer species of mango is identified so far in different mango orchards in India. The mango fruit borer, Citripestis eutraphera (Meyrick), (Lepidoptera:Pyralidae) originally confined to the Andaman Islands, is a recent invasion in mainland India. C. eutraphera which was originally described from Java, is a significant borer of mango fruits in South and South-East Asia and some parts of Australia (Anderson and Tran-Nguyen, 2012). The most recent classical example of intra-national invasion of insect pests from the Andaman and Nicobar Islands to mainland India is the mango fruit borer, C. eutraphera (Jayanthi et al., 2014). They first time reported the occurrence of C. eutraphera causing extensive damage to immature fruits of mango in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. Recently, infestation of C. eutraphera was reported first time causing extensive damage in Gujarat (Bana et al., 2018). Mango-growing pockets in the southwestern parts of Gujarat, as well as parts of Kerala and Tamil Nadu were moderately to highly suitable for C. eutraphera distribution in 2050 and 2070 (Choudhary et al., 2019). Mango fruit borer has become a serious problem in major mango growing areas of Gujarat and peak infestation of this pest occurs during April-May, which approximately coincides with ‘marble stage’ of fruit development. But, research data on natural enemies of C. eutraphera was lacking. By considering this, the present study will be carried out to know the status of natural parasitization of mango fruit borer in South Gujarat. | ||
