Mango twig tip dieback forces bulldozing of thousands of trees in the Northern Territory

Mango twig tip dieback has led to the bulldozing of 30,000 to 40,000 trees in the Northern Territory. The fungal disease, linked to plant stress, is affecting farms across the Greater Darwin region, with the Kensington Pride variety showing high susceptibility. Researchers are focusing on understanding the disease's spread and developing integrated management solutions, with new AI spore-tracking technology being trialed.
