The sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) is a very important cultivated crop in many states of India. This crop is grown throughout the year; hence it is infested by a large number of pest (fungus, insects etc.). According to a study, sugarcane production is declined by 20-30% or more. Out of several insect pest, Scirpophaga nivella (Fabricius) is one of the notorious pest of this crop sugarcane. This pest infests sugarcane crop of three months old crop to till harvesting stages and some similar plants too. In integrated pest management (IPM) several suitable techniques or methods are used harmoniously with the least disruption of the ecosystem. Thus, IPM is being applied to control the top shoot borer (S. nivella). Seven different modules were tested to control the infestation of top borer. The percentage of incidence of S. nivella in module-4 (T. chilonis+ T. howardi + carbofaran) were 2.8, 2.2, 1.1 and 0.6 in II, III, IV and V broods respectively which were very less, with highest cane yield of 89.43 t/ha as compared to the other modules tested. From the present work, we would recommend for the use of carbofuran(pesticide), Trichogramma chilonis (Ishii), and Tetrastichus howardi (Olliff) for the higher sugarcane production of Variety Co 0238.

“…In subtropical regions of India states as Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Maharashtra, Madras, Mysore, Orissa and Uttar Predesh, it is found as a major pest while in tropical regions as minor occurrence. Several crops like Jawar, Kans, Sarkanda, Dab and some others are also likely to be infested by S. nivella [2][3][4].…”

“…In India, sorghum is cultivated over an area of 4.09 million hectares, yielding 3.47 million tonnes with an average productivity of 849 kg per hectare [3]. Primarily grown under rainfed conditions, sorghum is cultivated during the kharif (rainy) and rabi (winter) seasons, predominantly in southern and central India [4][5][6]. Sorghum is susceptible to several insect pests, including the shoot fly (Atherigona soccata Rondani), stem borers (Chilo partellus Swinhoe and Sesamia inferens Walker), armyworms (Mythimna separata Walker and Spodoptera frugiperda J.E.…”

During the rabi season, the peak populations of Chilo partellus and Sesamia inferens were observed under specific weather conditions: no rainfall, maximum temperatures of 32.8°C and 31.9°C, minimum temperatures of 16.7°C and 16.2°C, morning relative humidity of 75.83% and 81.47%, afternoon relative humidity of 43.5% and 48.1%, and wind speeds of 20 km/h and 19.7 km/h, respectively. Correlation analysis revealed that the larval population of C. partellus infesting rabi sorghum had a significantly positive correlation with morning relative humidity and a significantly negative correlation with wind speed. In contrast, the larval population of S. inferens showed a positive but non-significant correlation with rainfall, morning relative humidity, and afternoon relative humidity. By monitoring specific weather conditions, such as humidity and wind speed, and understanding their impact on pest populations, effective interventions can be designed to mitigate the damage caused by C. partellus and S. inferens. This knowledge is crucial for improving crop yields and ensuring sustainable agricultural practices.
