Mango twig-tip dieback (MTTD) is a new type of mango decline, but its impact on the trees’ mineral nutrition unknown. This study was conducted to determine effect MTTD infection nutrient status, balance, and resorption efficiency (RE) mango. Leaf concentrations deviation from optimum percentage (DOP) indices ‘Kensington Pride’ (KP) trees with low (LD) high (HD) levels infections were analyzed compare foliar status balance between LD HD trees. Moreover, MTTD-infected dried leaves (RED) compared healthy (RES) KP mangoes. The Ca, Mg, Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn lower in than But K content higher trees, DOP index sufficient, while concentration deficient level for less overall imbalances exacerbated RED significantly RES N, P, S, K. underscores significant influence mangoes, revealing distinct variations levels. These findings have important implications crop management, emphasizing need targeted interventions address induced by enhance health resistance against infection.
