Visual searching method followed for identifying the infested and healthy mango fruit. The total healthy and infested (14.86%; 22 out of 148) and (85.13%; 126 out of 148), respectively in mango fruit. The healthy and infested ranged (0.00-3.33%) and (66.67-93.33%), respectively in mango fruit. The insects viz thrips, stone weevil, and fruit borer (0.00-33.33) %, (33.33-73.33) and (23.33-46.67) % in this study, respectively.
