Mango growers in parts of East Godavari and surrounding regions are facing increasing concerns due to changing climatic conditions and pest infestations. Unseasonal temperature fluctuations and irregular rainfall patterns have affected flowering and fruit development, while pest attacks have increased production costs.
Farmers have been compelled to spend more on pesticides and crop management practices to protect their orchards. Agricultural scientists are advising growers to adopt integrated pest management techniques and climate-resilient horticultural practices.
Despite these challenges, demand for premium varieties such as Banginapalli and Suvarnarekha remains strong, providing optimism for better market returns during the harvest season.
