Changes in the Relative Abundance of Soil-Dwelling Insect Pests in Sugarcane Grown in Florida
Abstract Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) is an important field crop grown in southern Florida. White grubs (Scarabaeidae) and wireworms (Elateridae) historically and currently are important soil insect pests of the crop. Twenty sugarcane fields on muck soil (Histosols) were sampled for soil insect pests during 2015 and 2016.

Toxic and repellent action of sugarcane bagasse-based lignin against some stored grain insect pests
Laboratory experiments were carried out to investigate the efficacy of sugarcane bagasse-based lignin against four stored grain insect pests viz., Tribolium castaneum, Tribolium confusum, Sitophilus oryzae and Callosobruchus maculatus. Mortality was assessed after 24, 48 and 72 h of treatment and LD50 values were calculated at the respective time ...
