Some mango growers believed that Malaysian region is the original home of mango, due to a maximum number of species grown over there, whereas the recorded numbers of grown species are about 20. In other reports, mango seed traveling begin around 300 or 400 AD from Asia to the Middle East, East Africa, and South America. The great Mughal Emperors, especially Akbar, made the preliminary contribution by establishing the Lakh Bagh through the selection and subsequent cloning. Mango was introduced from India to other countries of the tropical and subtropical world mainly by the Muslim missionaries, Spanish voyagers, and Portuguese.

Since the sixteenth century, it traveled to other parts of the world. The native home of mango is considered as India to Burma (Myanmar) or maybe from the Malay region. Generally, it is grown in tropical and subtropical regions of Southeast Asia. Mango, Mangifera indica L., the king of all fruits, belongs to the family Anacardiaceae and order Sapindales. Therefore, the impacts of such fungicide management in some important mango diseases are discussed in this chapter. However, due to pathogen resistance development, it is hard to manage plant diseases. However, chemical fungicides are believed to be a significant way to control fungal pathogens or sometimes to inhibit and prevent the development of pathogens. Existing fungicide chemistry, sometimes, renamed with new trade name does not satisfy the farmer to apply such fungicides for disease management. However, research toward an increase of resistance and delay in disease development has been undertaken. In many cases, plant pathogen resistance could develop naturally thus, several newly developed chemistries of fungicides remain at high risk. Resistance to fungicide in current days is a major threat to plant disease management. Disease control always remains a challenge for the farmers to get optimum production especially due to pesticide resistance. Mango tree and fruit have been affected by about 83 diseases reported worldwide, and in Pakistan, 27 diseases are recognized as more important. However, several infectious diseases caused by many phytopathogens are deteriorating mango quality and quantity. Mango, Mangifera indica L., is known to be the king of all fruits due to its delicious taste, marvelous fragrance, and beautiful appearance.
