    Mango production faces challenges from environmental factors like weather, pests, and disease that cause erratic yields and quality issues. Current technology has not achieved comprehensive management and control of these environmental risks, even for large agribusiness firms. Further research and development could help address these problems for small farmers and continue to increase gains in mango production. Past successes in the Philippines suggest that more investment in this area could be beneficial.

    A more stringent constraint however appears to be erratic yields and quality

    due to environmental factors (i.e. weather, pest, and disease). It appears


    that the level of technology of mango production has not matured to the point of
    comprehensive management and control of environmental risk, even for
    large-scale and technically sophisticated agribusiness firms. This suggests
    that R&D may continue to offer enormous gains for mango production and
    address the problems faced by small farmers. Past research success in the
    Philippines, home of the revolutionary flower induction technology, augurs well for
    investments in this area (see e.g. http://beta.searca.org/searca/index.php/45-dlumali-award/45-2011-dl-umali-awardee). 21 Furthermore, as discussed in the Pearl2
    (2004) report, lower production cost can already be realized under existing
    technologies, such as: property fertilizer management informed by soil
    testing; and reduction of pesticide use (through bagging and integrated
    pest management). Propagation of current and new technologies should be
    promoted through a responsive extension system in which public and private
    extension agents are key partners.

    Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is the proper selection and use of suitable pest management practices to
    reduce pest injury at levels below those causing significant loss. Specifically, it aims to increase profit through the
    improvement of fruit yield and quality by reducing pest damages and reducing the cost of pest management.
    Furthermore, IPM also aspires to improve sustainability of mango production, by reducing the harmful effects of
    pesticides such as pesticide resistance and hazards to humans and the environment.
    Developing an IPM program depends largely on the proper identification of pests; thorough knowledge of their
    biology, ecology, and epidemiology; and understanding crop phenology and cultural requirements.
    It uses two management strategies, namely: reduction of initial disease inoculum or pest population, and reduction of
    the rate of disease infection or pest reproduction. These can be achieved through an integration of cultural practices,
    pesticide management, and mechanical control.
