Abstract

Sapota (Manilkara achras) is found damaged by about 62 insects and 1 mite in India. Key pests include the leaf webber Nephopteryx eugraphella; bud borer Eustalodes achrasella and Anarsia epotias; seed borer Trymalitis margaritas; fruit flies Bactrocera dorsalis, B. caryeae, B. correcta, B. diversa and D. tau; fruit borers Phycita erythrolophia and Anonaepestis bengalella; hairy caterpillar Metanastria hyrtaca; soft green scale Coccus viridis; green shield scale Pulvinaria psidii; mealybugs Planococcus lilacinus, Planococcus citri, Rastrococcus invadens, Maconellicoccus hirsutus, Rastrococcus iceryoides, and Ferrisia virgata; stem borer Neoplocaederus ferrugineus; and the leaf miner Acrocercops gemoniella.
