    Question

    The alternate host plant for mango hopper insect is:

    A.

    Neem

    B.

    Citrus

    C.

    Jamun

    D.

    None of these

    Correct option is D


    The correct answer is (d).
    While the primary host for the mango hopper insect is mango, some studies indicate that fig ( Ficus carica ) and sapota can also serve as alternate hosts. 
    · Primary Host:
    Mango is the primary host plant for mango hoppers. 
    · Alternate Hosts:
    2. Fig (Ficus carica): Purthi and Batra (1960) reported that mango hoppers were found sucking sap from fig. 
    2. Sapota: Nayur et al. (1976) also reported mango hoppers on sapota. 
    Management:
    · Removing alternative hosts like moringa and silk cotton from the vicinity of mango orchards can help reduce the population of mango hoppers.
