Hussain K This is because of ants it will web mango leafs and creat one antweb, ants are not major problem and even they don't have any influence on crop yield or anything. But web created by ants will become hosting site for mango leaf Webber I.e. Orthaga spp. So pls remove the ant webs or go for smoke application in case notice of any leaf Webber in that colony go for control measures:- Spray acephate 2g/l or diclorovos 2ml/l.
