| diapause incidence and duration in the pest mango blossom gall midge, procontarinia mangiferae (felt), on reunion island. | the mango blossom gall midge, procontarinia mangiferae, is a multivoltine species that induces galls in inflorescences and leaves of the mango tree, mangifera indica. in subtropical reunion island, populations of p. mangiferae are observed all-year round, but the pattern and the role of dormancy in their life cycle have never been documented. we performed field and laboratory experiments using more than 15,000 larvae. we demonstrated that a larval diapause may affect a part of the midge populati ... | 2014 | 24963639 |

| varietal preferences and within-orchard and tree distribution of newly recorded gall midges, dasineura amaramanjarae and procontarinia mangiferae (diptera: cecidomyiidae), from commercial mango cultivars in pakistan. | gall midges (diptera: cecidomyiidae) damage mango by feeding on flowers and fruit tissues, inducing galls on leaves, and providing inoculums of anthracnose. dasineura amaramanjarae grover and procontarinia mangiferae (felt), two gall midges that damage flowers in all mango-growing areas of the world, have recently been recorded in pakistan, and studies were conducted in 2011 and 2012 on the within-tree and orchard distribution patterns and cultivar preference of both species in pakistan at one l ... | 2017 | 28531303 |
| damage patterns, monitoring, and management of procontarinia mangiferae (diptera: cecidomyiidae) in pakistan. | since 2005, mango has been damaged by a group of new pests, the gall midges, in all mango-growing areas of pakistan. little is known about these pests in pakistan. in this report, we present information on the occurrence, damage patterns, methods for monitoring, and management of procontarinia mangiferae (felt), a mango gall midge found in the country. at the study site (rahim yar khan, a district of the province punjab, pakistan), the pest was active from january/february to april as eggs, larv ... | 2016 | 27616764 |
