The epidemiological study was conducted at Regional Fruit Research Station, Vengurle, M. S. during 2013-14 and 2014-15. The ten Alphonso mango trees from unsprayed plot were selected and 15 panicles of each tree were tagged and observed seven days interval for disease incidence. During the year 2013-14 and 2014-15 first powdery mildew appearance was noticed in the 2nd fortnight of January and 1st fortnight of January respectively.
