FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH BLACK TIP AND INTERNAL NECROSIS IN MANGO AND THEIR CONTROL |

| Abstract:
The occurrence of black tip (tip necrosis/fruit necrosis) must have been observed long before it was actually recorded. The first published record on black tip of mango dates back to 1909 when Woodhouse from Bihar reported that mango fruit is damaged at Sabour Farm by the smoke from the brick kilns which apparently blacken the apex of the mango and interferes with its development. Subsequently, the disorder was referred by Naik (1934), Allan (1936) and Pal et al (1937). In Uttar Pradesh, the disorder was noticed in 1923 by P. K. Dey in the name of ‘Koeli’ (see Das-Gupta and Verma, 1939). Intensive studies were carried out by Das-Gupta and his associates on black tip of mango fruit (Das-Gupta and Verma, 1939, 1940; Das-Gupta and Asthana, 1944; Das-Gupta and Sinha, 1944; Das-Gupta and Agrawal, 1947; Das-Gupta et al, 1950; Das-Gupta and Sen, 1958). These studies revealed that the black tip of mango was not associated with any pathogen and it was closely associated with nearness to brick kilns and gases emanating from brick kiln fumes. | |
