Dear Wassim,
Mango trees can suffer with a number of fungal problems one of them being Anthracnose and bacterial black spot. Spraying every 4 weeks with Yates Leaf Curl Copper Fungicide Spray from early flowering to fruit set will ensure protection against fungal problems.
There are also a number of pests that can attack mango trees such as thrips, scale, fruit fly, redshouldered leaf beetles and fruitsucking moths. It is a matter of monitoring the tree and inspecting regularly to keep these pests at bay.
Fruit fly can be a real problem but it can be controlled by either spraying the tree with Yates Nature's Way Fruit Fly Control
In order to keep the tree healthy, apply a good quality fertiliser for fruit trees such as Yates Thrive Natural Citrus & Fruit Organic Based Pelletised Plant Food. this product contains the necessary nutrients a fruit tree will need to produce good strong growth and large juicy fruit. Regular deep watering will also keep the tree healthy.
