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.

These punctures affect the fruit’s edible quality and lower its market value.
