Abstract
Mango (Mangifera indica Linn) being the most important fruit of India also known as “King of fruits” is cultivated in the largest area i.e. 2217 thousand ha and the production is around 18506 million tons and the total export of mangoes from India is 42998.31 tons, valuing to Rs. 30,253.65 lakhs as recorded in the reports during 2014-15. As being the one of the most important agri-horticultural crop, there is need of web based information system so that it can serve as an advisory for the farmers as and when required. The online platform is developed for Mango for the state Uttar Pradesh to smoothen the exchange of information among different research workers and farmers in the study area. Such type of platforms can further increase the production and productivity of the crop by managing the insect-pests and wider spread of Integrated Pest Management practices.
