Abstract

The role of tea mosquito, Helopeltis antonii Sign. (Miridae: Heteroptera) and the fungi (Gloeo-sporium mangiferae P. Henn., and another nons porulating fungus) in inciting inflorescence blight in cashew, Anacardium occidental L., was studied. It was found that tea mosquito is the primary causal agent of the malady and the fungi are only secondary saprophytic colonizers.
