Abstract
Mango (Mangifera indica L.), a member of family Anacardiaceae is one of the ancient fruit of Indian origin. India accounts for 54% of world’s total mango production. In J&K state plant is most widespread in district Jammu, Kathua, Samba, Udhampur and Reasi. The major reason for its low productivity is the threat of insect pests, out of which insects belonging to order Hemiptera damaged mostly the plants. Species diversity analyzed through consistent survey and sampling conducted in various districts of Jammu region from March 2013 to Feb. 2014 indicated that the mango plantations are damaged mostly by insects belonging to order Hemiptera. Adults and nymphs both cause damage to the trees by sucking sap from the tender leaves and cause damage on fruits by hard brownish punctures or black spots. These punctures affect the fruit’s edible quality and lower its market value.
