Wilt of mango caused by Ceratocystis fimbriata has become a great threat to mango production in Bangladesh, Brazil, Oman, Pakistan, Spain and very recently in India also. In the present study potential distribution of mango wilt in India was predicted under different climate change scenarios by ecological niche modeling by MaxEnt. Study revealed that cutting across the different scenarios precipitation of wettest month, precipitation seasonality, temperature seasonality, isothermality were the significant factors in determining the disease distribution. Highest suitability areas for the disease occurrence under current scenario was predicted in southern parts of Jammu and Kashmir, southern Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, western and central Uttar Pradesh, western part of Bihar, western part of Maharashtra and Karnataka. Under future climate scenarios in 2050 highest suitability areas were predicted in …
