As the fruits infested with S. mangiferae do not show any external symptoms, X-ray radiography was employed for non-destructive detection of stone weevil infestation in mangoes. The X-ray at 20 - 34 kVP voltage, 12 - 20 mA current with a distance of 38 cms from platform to source was optimum for detection of stone weevil infestation in mango fruits. Out off 565 mangoes scanned, Bangalore showed 32.5% infestation followed by Neelam 20%, Banganapalli 8.8%, while no infestation was observed in Malgoa and Rumani varieties. The fruits recorded as infested in the X-ray, when cut opened matched with the X-ray images. X-ray radiography can be employed for non-destructive detection of S. mangiferae for phytosanitary certification in plant quarantine programmes.1 aMaharajan, A.1 aLatha, S.1 aSathyanarayana, N.1 aReddy, O., R.  uhttps://weevil.myspecies.info/x-ray-analysis-non-destructive-detection-stone-weevil-sternochetus-mangiferae-mango-fruits-001503nas a2200181   4500008004500000020001400045245010500059210006900164260001300233300001200246490000700258520085800265100001801123700001401141700002301155700001801178856012501196       2005                        Engldsh    a0253-435500aX-ray analysis: a non-destructive detection of stone weevil, Sternochetus mangiferae in mango fruits0 aXray analysis a nondestructive detection of stone weevil Sternoc  cDecember  a164-1660 v333 aMango stone weevil, Sternochetus mangiferae is a bottle neck for export of Indian mangoes.
