The word sugar is known to have derived from the Sanskrit word sharkara Sugarcane is scientifically known as SaccharamofficinarumIt is believed to be originated from South and South-East AsiaIndia is the second largest producer of cane sugar next to BrazilSugarcane is infested by 287 species of insect and non insect pestsOut of them 14 are major pests of sugarcane in India

What is IPM

Integrated pest management (IPM) is an ecosystem-

based strategy that focuses on long-term prevention of pests

or their damage through a combination of techniques such as

biological control habitat manipulation modification of

cultural practices and use of resistant varieties

How do IPM programs work

1 Set Action Thresholds

The eggs are oval creamy white when fresh and later turn to brown in colour

The newly hatched grub is white amp scarabaeiform

The pupa is exarate type and pupation takes place in soil

- Generally the adults are lamellate and males being smaller than female

- Dark brown beetles

SYMPTOMS OF DAMAGE

Both grub and adult cause the

damage

Grub feeds on fine rootlets and

then girdles of the main roots

Yellowing and wilting of leaves

and finally dries out

Affected canes come off

easily when pulled

Cultural Methods Collection and destruction of adult beetles from host

trees immediately after first heavy summer rains Picking of grubs manually from field Repeated ploughing amp exposing various stages of

grub to their natural enemies The use of light trapBiological Methods Bacillus popillae (Bacteria) Beauveria bassiana (Fungus)

Chemical Methods The adult can be controlled by -

Workers attack the

newly planted setts and

affect germination

They enter through cut ends of

setts amp feed on the soft tissue

The tunnel or rind excavated is

filled with the soil

The termites attack setts shoots

canes and also stubbles

Entire shoot dries up and can

be pulled out easily

SYMPTOMS OF DAMAGE

The use of partially decomposed manure should be

avoided

Locate and destroy the termite colony near by field

Irrigation water with crude oil emulsion

The removal of decaying organic matters cow dung

wood or dry stubbles from the field

Use Coccinella septempunctata (predator) amp Metarhizium anisopliae (fungal pathogen)

IPM strategy for Pyrilla

E melanoleuca

Nymphs and adults feed by sucking

the juice and cause shrivelling up

and stunting of canes

Nodal region is more infested than

internodal region

Infested crop losses its vigour canes

shrivel non-opening of leaves amp

ultimately cane dries up

Such canes when slit open appear

brownish red

SYMPTOMS OF DAMAGE

Node

Stripping of cane leaves may minimize attack

Select and plant the scale insect free setts

Avoid water stagnation for the longer period

Detrash the crop at 150th and 210th day of planting

Give hot water treatment before planting

Presoak the setts in 01 solution Malathion 50 EC

The eggs are oval creamy white when fresh and later turn to brown in colour

The newly hatched grub is white amp scarabaeiform

The pupa is exarate type and pupation takes place in soil

- Generally the adults are lamellate and males being smaller than female

- Dark brown beetles

SYMPTOMS OF DAMAGE

Both grub and adult cause the

damage

Grub feeds on fine rootlets and

then girdles of the main roots

Yellowing and wilting of leaves

and finally dries out

Affected canes come off

easily when pulled

Cultural Methods Collection and destruction of adult beetles from host

trees immediately after first heavy summer rains Picking of grubs manually from field Repeated ploughing amp exposing various stages of

grub to their natural enemies The use of light trapBiological Methods Bacillus popillae (Bacteria) Beauveria bassiana (Fungus)

SYMPTOMS OF DAMAGE

The use of partially decomposed manure should be

The eggs are oval creamy white when fresh and later turn to brown in colour

The newly hatched grub is white amp scarabaeiform

The pupa is exarate type and pupation takes place in soil

- Generally the adults are lamellate and males being smaller than female

- Dark brown beetles

SYMPTOMS OF DAMAGE

Both grub and adult cause the

damage

Grub feeds on fine rootlets and

then girdles of the main roots

Yellowing and wilting of leaves

and finally dries out

Affected canes come off

easily when pulled

Cultural Methods Collection and destruction of adult beetles from host

trees immediately after first heavy summer rains Picking of grubs manually from field Repeated ploughing amp exposing various stages of

grub to their natural enemies The use of light trapBiological Methods Bacillus popillae (Bacteria) Beauveria bassiana (Fungus)

SYMPTOMS OF DAMAGE

The use of partially decomposed manure should be

Grub feeds on fine rootlets and

then girdles of the main roots

Yellowing and wilting of leaves

Affected canes come off

easily when pulled

Burn trashes after harvesting canes

Remove lower leaves bearing egg cluster

Ratooning should be avoided

Balance Nitrogen should be applied

Dust malathion 5 40kgha or

Spray malathion 50 EC 125kgaiha

Release of 8000-12000 cocoons or 32 to 4 lakh eggs of Epiricania melanoleuca per haduring July-August

Use Coccinella septempunctata (predator) amp Metarhizium anisopliae (fungal pathogen)

IPM strategy for Pyrilla

E melanoleuca

Nymphs and adults feed by sucking

the juice and cause shrivelling up

and stunting of canes

Nodal region is more infested than

internodal region

Infested crop losses its vigour canes

shrivel non-opening of leaves amp

ultimately cane dries up

Such canes when slit open appear

brownish red

SYMPTOMS OF DAMAGE

Node

Stripping of cane leaves may minimize attack

Select and plant the scale insect free setts

Avoid water stagnation for the longer period

Detrash the crop at 150th and 210th day of planting

Give hot water treatment before planting

Presoak the setts in 01 solution Malathion 50 EC

Spray 125 litres of Malathion 50 EC or 2 litres of

Dimethoate 30 EC in 1250 litres of water per ha
