Sugarcane Borer (SCB) Control, 1978

Insecticide and Acaricide Tests, 1979
Abstract Insecticide sprays were applied 3-weeks apart in a block of first stubble sugarcane (variety CP 61-37) located at Savoie Sugars near Belle Rose, Louisiana for midseason control of SCB infestations. A randomized complete block experimental design was employed with treatments replicated 5 times. Individual plots were 3 rows spaced

Sugarcane Borer (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) Management Threshold Assessment on Four Sugarcane Cultivars

Journal of Economic Entomology, 2006
This research assesses the potential for using different economic injury thresholds in management of a key insect pest on susceptible and resistant commercially produced cultivars of sugarcane (Saccharum spp. hybrids). In a 2-yr sugarcane borer, Diatraea saccharalis (F.) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), study involving four commercially produced sugarcane ...

Seasonal drought drives sugarcane borer outbreaks

Journal of Economic Entomology
Abstract Sugarcane borers (SCB) pose a major threat to sugarcane production. Effective pest management requires detailed knowledge of SCB phenology and population dynamics in responses to environmental changes. This study tested the hypothesis that drought drives SCB outbreaks and identified season-specific effects by investigating large-

Sampling for the Sugarcane Borer (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) on Sugarcane in Louisiana

Journal of Economic Entomology, 2001
A 3-yr study was conducted in 0.6- to 2.0-ha sugarcane fields throughout south Louisiana under varying sugarcane borer, Diatraea saccharalis (F.), density levels to determine the spatial dispersion of infestations and to develop a sequential sampling plan. Infestations of D. saccharalis were randomly dispersed.

Insecticidal Control for the Sugarcane Borer

Journal of Economic Entomology, 1928
The work of three seasons at the Louisiana Experiment Station has yielded consistent results showing that it is possible with a water-soluble dust like sodium silicofluoride to destroy at least half of the sugarcane borer larvae occurring on the exterior or burrowing through the interior of the stalks of corn or sugarcane which are the principal host ...

Control of the Sugarcane Borer with Insecticides

Journal of Economic Entomology, 1959
In tests conducted in Louisiana in 1956, 1957, and 195R, good control of the sugarcane borer, Diatraea saccharalis (F.), was obtained from four biweekly applications of 2% endrin on 30-60 mesh RVM-AA attapulgite granules broadcast over cane fields at the approximate rate of 12 pounds per acre per application. Dust formulations of endrin were not always

Diatraea saccharalis (sugarcane stalk borer).

2021
Abstract D. saccharalis is generally considered to be a pest of substantial economic importance. The extent of economic losses may vary depending on factors such as environmental conditions and sugarcane varieties. Losses to the sugarcane borer often vary across geographic regions (e.g. crop losses to the borer in Louisiana), USA may

Differential Yield Responses of Commercial Sugarcane Varieties to Sugarcane Borer Damage

Journal of Economic Entomology, 1969
Comparison to yields from insecticide-treated and untreated sugarcane variety plots in 14 experiments conducted from 1959 to 1965 show a wide range in varietal response to damage by the sugarcane borer, Diatraea saccharalis (F.). Yield losses from sugarcane borer damage were much greater for varieties C.P. 48-103 and C.P.

Sampling for the Sugarcane Borer (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) in Sugarcane

Journal of Economic Entomology, 1986
A sampling study was conducted in sugarcane to estimate infestation levels of the sugarcane borer (SCB), Diatraea saccharalis (F.). A single sample consisted of five stalks per plant from five plants spaced 3 m apart. A mean of 7 min was required for one scout to take one sample in cane 0.6–1.2 m tall; 16 min was required in cane 3.0–3.6 m tall ...

Mexican Rice Borer Control on Sugarcane, 1991

Insecticide and Acaricide Tests, 1992
Abstract Foliar spray concentrates were applied aerially to a field of 1st ratoon sugarcane, cultivar 'TCP 81-3058', located in Hidalgo County, near Santa Rosa, TX. The field was sectioned into plots of 27 rows (152.4-cm centers) × 374.3 m, with the 11 treated rows in the center.
