Mallet cannot be applied to a fruiting tree. Most systemics cannot be applied to a fruit tree. Imidapro 4SC is the only systemic insecticide that we can think of that can be applied to fruit trees. We recommend reviewing the product label to make sure it can be applied to the type of fruit trees you have. The product label does list mango fruit trees as a variety that may be treated with the product.
