The current study explores the knowledge, attitude and practices (KAP) of Pakistani mango farmers about mango fruit borer (Conogethes punctiferalis) and also evaluates management practices. The majority of the farmers were the owners of mango orchards and 72.5, 79.16, 75, and 70.83% of farmers in Khanewal, Multan, RYK, and Muzaffar Garh, respectively used the practices. The majority of farmers pruned their orchards regularly. Furthermore, 88.33% of farmers consulted the Agriculture Extension Agent/Extension department. The removal of weeds reduced the pest as responded to by a majority of farmers. It was observed that 78.33% of farmers in district Khanewal believed that fruit borer attacks on fruits, and only 1.66% of farmers were unaware of which part of mango is attacked; while 4.16% of farmers thought it attacks the leaves. 41.66, 40, 40.83, and 38.33% of farmers used emamectin in Khanewal, Multan, RYK, and Muzaffar Garh, respectively. Farmers thought that Anwar Ratool was the most susceptible variety while Chaunsa looked resistant. In Muzaffar Garh, the Anwar Ratool was the more highly infested variety. It was observed that the majority of the farmers believed that C. punctiferalis caused 25% yield loss and only 5.83-15.83% of farmers believed that it caused 100% loss.
