After mango fruits are plucked from the trees, they are usually kept for ripening for about 10-12 days. Fruits at this stage are very susceptible to pest attack. To control this situation, Mr Venkataramana Bhat puts the fruits in hot water (60-650 Celsius) for 10-12 minutes. The moth eggs laid on mangoes are destroyed, and the fruits remain fresh for longer period (Also see Buganic; Lizada; de Ramos, 1993 and http://www.oisat.org/crops/fruits/mango.html. This is well established practice around the world now among many organic farmers. Ed)
