Mango Twig Tip Dieback (MTTD)
Since mid-2017, different symptoms of mango dieback have been observed in the Northern Territory. It was named Mango Twig Tip Dieback (MTTD) to distinguish it from the common branch/twig dieback.
The Department of Industry, Tourism and Trade (NT DITT) are currently studying this disorder, with the support of the Australian Mango Industry Association (AMIA), NT Farmers and the NT Mango Industry Association.
More information can be found on NT DITT's website.
