Protecting your treasured mangoes with fabric bags and socks aligns perfectly with the "observation and intervention" principle of permaculture. By observing the fruit fly's lifecycle and understanding its vulnerabilities, you create a simple physical barrier before egg-laying commences. This not only safeguards your harvest but also avoids harmful pesticides and respects the natural balance of your garden.
Mango fruit begins when the female fly punctures the skin of the fruit and lays eggs underneath it. Decay is caused by the larvae feeding in the flesh of the fruit, which causes the fruit unusable. To protect mango from the fruit flies, the fruit needs to be covered before fruit flies start to lay eggs. We cover our mango fruits a couple weeks before the beginning of rain season knowing that with the first day of rain, fruit flies hatch and start laying eggs.
