Abstract : A comparative study was made of a tanker power sprayer (tractor-drawn) and a manually operated sprayer for the control of mango pests such as Idioscopus spp. and Orthaga eudrusalis [O. euadrusalis] in Andhra Pradesh, India. The manual sprayer, although more time consuming, was superior to the tanker power sprayer in all other respects and is therefore recommended for use in mango.
