Powdery mildew caused by Oidium mangiferae Berthed, is the most important disease of mango. It is reported from 35 countries of the world and reported to cause upto 90 per cent loss in India. Besides inflorescence infection, it causes different types of symptoms on leaves and fruits. On the basis of epidemiological studies and control measures conducted for the last 15 years at CISH, Lucknow, a disease cycle and an integrated disease management practice is proposed in this communication. Disease can easily be controlled by adopting suitable cultural practices and timely application of spray schedule. As the disease is weather sensitive, need based control measures are suggested on the basis of prevailing environmental conditions.
