Spatial distribution of beetle attack and its association with mango sudden decline: an investigation using geostatistical tools.

This is the first study to employ geostatic tools on a plant scale in MSD-infested mango orchards and to study the incidence of beetle attack. The results may prove a highly effective tool for mango growers, with respect to the management of beetles and MSD, as this will facilitate the monitoring of specific sites where the frequency of beetles and MSD is high. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.
