    You are fortunate to have a plant pathologist to consult. Neem oil could possibly help will these issues your mango tree has or a calcium product. These articles may help

    Thank you for your help DLarum.
    I can understand from your answer that my mango trees have calcium deficiency.

    Mango trees produce long taproots, which search for water and anchors this massive tree in the ground. The best soil is at least 19 1/2 feet deep, but with good watering practices, mangos grow well in 3-foot-deep soil. Check the area for impermeable layers under the topsoil, which will stop the roots from growing downward. It is important to transplant the mango tree while young, since the roots quickly grow deep.
    The soil must drain well for the mango tree to survive.
    Mango trees like moderately fertile soil but have a low tolerance for salty soil.

    Does the damage look like it was done by larger animals like mammals or birds, or by insects? Check on and in the fruit for any insects or larvae. Check this article for types of insect pests and what to do about them:

    If the culprit seems to be birds or mammals, you can surround the tree with netting designed to keep birds and mammals off once the fruit begins to grow. Check under the netting every day in case an animal manages to get inside.
