Abstract : Thirty mango varieties were evaluated for resistance to adult females of Deporaus marginatus Pascoe by natural infection under field conditions in West Hainan. The results showed that 8 varieties, viz., Australia 11, Australia 14, Australia 8, Australia 12, Australia 9, Zill, Okyong and Hainantumang, were insect-resistant varieties; 20 varieties, viz., Australia 7, Chiin huang, Neelum, Australia 10, Yunnanxiaomang, Irwin, Red ivory, Sijimang, Australia 16, Jin white flower, Australia 15, Dashehari Aman, Zihua mango, Guifei, Haden, Yuexi 1, Thailand Shengchimang, Liuxiang, Tainong 1 and Tommy, were moderately insect-resistant, while Sanniamang and White ivory were found to be intermediately sensitive to the insect. Our studies will provide the basis for breeding insect-resistant mango varieties and will help in control of Deporaus marginatus Pascoe in mango fields.
