Apart from chemical control, which is by far the most commonly used method, biological control for the mosquito tea bug was also proved to be possible with options being found both in Asia and Africa, like Erythmelus helopeltidis parasitizing its eggs (Devasahayam and Nair 1986) and Telenomus sp. and Chaetostricha minor being its natural predators (Sundararaju 1993).

However, the efficacy and the economic viability of the integrated pest management by biological control still need to be improved (Mohapatra et al. 2007), as well as the knowledge-sharing process with farmers, which has been found to be a major constraint in the implementation of this method (Nathaniels et al. 2003).

Among diseases caused by pathogens, those brought by fungi are the most dangerous, particularly anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, black mold by Pilgeriella anacardii, and powdery mildew by Oidium sp. (Freire et al. 2002; for a sample of the most relevant, see Table 2).

 

They can usually be controlled by fungicide applications. Pruning for tree training is commonly carried out both in Asia (FAO 1998) and Africa (Asogwa et al. 2008). Such practice is essential to promote the growth of a uniform canopy and avoid overcrowding, to which cashew plants are particularly sensitive. Plants are trained to a single stem where branches are allowed to grow about 0.75–1 m from ground level. Moreover, plants are usually kept at a height of 4–5 m by topping off the main stem, in order to reduce work required for orchard management. 

Pruning is also used as pest control practice, in that deformed branches due to infection by pests and diseases are removed to limit their spread (Nathaniels et al. 2003). Pruning should be carried out once a year and is conducted most commonly after the seasonal fruiting (Asogwa et al. 2008). Cashew plants flower for 2 or 3 months and fruits mature about 2 months after the blooming. When the whole fruit is fully ripe, it falls to the ground and harvesting generally involves collecting nuts when they have dropped (Azam-Ali and Judge 2001).
