Field Evaluation of Sugarcane Germplasm Against Key Pests

C. N. Rao, N Venugopala Rao, B. Bhavani

Abstract

Experiments were conducted at Regional Agricultural Research Station, Anakapalle during 2002–2004 to evaluate sugarcane genotypes for resistance to early shoot borer, internode borer and scale insect. The genotype 2000 A 62 was found promising by recording significantly less incidence of early shoot borer (15.9%), while 2000 A 225 against internode borer (1.8% intensity). The genotype 2000 A 133 recorded least intensity of scale insect and weight of scale encrustation. Genotype 2000 A 113 registered significantly high sucrose (18.4%) and genotype 2000 A 226 registered higher cane yield of 91.9 t/ha.
