Cecid flies again threaten the Philippines' mango farms
The Cecid fly typically attacks the mango fruit at night. When they lay their eggs, they leave circular black marks on the fruit. The larvae soon bore into the fruit, eventually destroying it.
Northboundasia reports that to prevent its spread, governor Imelda Marcos has approved the allocation of funds to contain this mango infestation that has been affecting the productivity of mango farmers in Ilocos region.
