Manejo integrado con biofungicidas para el control de la fumagina (Capnodium mangiferae), en hojas y frutos en el cultivo de mango (Mangifera indica).

Pathogenic fungi are the main responsible for destructive diseases that cause important problems in the world food chain. Therefore, in the present investigation, a literature review was conducted on the use of biofungicides for the control of fumagina in mango crop. Fumagina or sooty mold is a disease caused by the growth of several types of fungi that feed on honeydew left by insects on plants and other surfaces. As they grow, the fungi form dark filaments of mycelium that look like sooty mold. They can be small and scattered, or form large black masses that cover large areas of leaves, stems and, in some cases, fruiting plants and vegetables. The fungi that cause downy mildew can be quite complex. Some grow on honeydew produced by different species of insects, while other fungi are characteristic of certain plants or the secretions of certain insects. Therefore, biofungicides are now increasingly recognized as an attractive option to address these problems, as they are practical, environmentally friendly, affordable and resistant to field conditions compared to other traditional and unsustainable control methods. Ultimately, the efficacy evidenced through scientific research regarding biofungicide formulations used in the control of fumagina on mango leaves and fruit proved to be a successful control strategy.
