What is the cause for 'Cut Leaves' mostly in young apical shoots of my one and half years old Mango crop? Is it due to any 'Pest Attack' or Micro Nutrient deficiency?.

There is no discolouration or deformity of leaves as happens in cases of Micronutrient deficiency. It is case of clear cut leaves mostly young ones.
