Mango pests monitoring in high-density mango crop: sampling points per area and branch position influence.

The data is part of a study that aimed to develop a plan for monitoring major mango pests in high-density mango crops in Brazil. For this purpose, the influence of the position of the branch to be sampled in the canopy (internal and external) and the ideal number of plants to be evaluated per area were assessed. Regarding the position, the number of insects in the plants' first and second vegetative flush was surveyed. To determine the number of points per area, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, and 32 plants per hectare were evaluated. The studies were conducted in a commercial mango production area in the Submiddle São Francisco Valley, northeast Brazil, during two periods: September/2021 to February/2022 and September/2022 to February/2023.
