“…The sugarcane borer (SCB), Diatraea saccharalis (Fabricius) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), is a polyphagous species and one of the major pests of sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) and maize (Zea mays L.; both Poaceae) (Long & Hensley, 1972;White et al, 2001;Vargas et al, 2013;Joyce et al, 2014) in America. Currently, D. saccharalis is the most widely distributed species within the genus Crambidae.…”

The sugarcane borer, Diatraea saccharalis (Fabricius) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), is one of the main lepidopteran pests of sugarcane and maize. The association of insects with different environments and/or host plants may occur by adaptation and this can generate host races. Adaptation may produce phenotypic or genotypic variation, which results in the differences in bioecological characteristics such as reproductive compatibility that reduces gene flow among populations. The objective of this study was to determine the reproductive compatibility of three population combinations collected in various geographic locations and from different host plants, thereby determining the influence of geographic distance and/or insect plant association. Interpopulation crosses of D. saccharalis populations from Tucumán (maize and sugarcane) and Jujuy (sugarcane) provided evidence of pre‐zygotic and post‐zygotic incompatibility. The results indicate that gene flow barriers are influenced by the host plant. However, populations from various locations revealed that geographical location is the main factor influencing gene flow among populations of D. saccharalis.

“…Larvae are endophagous, developing in host plant stems until they pupate and emerge as adults. This moth is considered an introduced species in the southern United States and can be a pest of cultivated plants including corn (Zea mays L.), sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.), and rice (Oryza sativa L.) in various parts of its range (Cherry & Nuessly, 1993;Fuchs, Huffman, & Smith, 1979;Gifford & Mann, 1967;Vargas, Lastra, & Solis, 2013;White et al, 2001). Few population genetic studies of this insect have been conducted (Joyce et al, 2014;Lange, Scott, Graham, Sallam, & Allsopp, 2004;Pashley et al, 1990).…”

Diatraea lineolata and Diatraea saccharalis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) are moths with stemboring larvae that feed and develop on economically important grasses. This study investigated whether these moths have diverged from a native host plant, corn, onto introduced crop plants including sorghum, sugarcane, and rice. Diatraea larvae were collected from these four host plants throughout the year in El Salvador and were reared on artificial diet until moths or parasitoids emerged. Adult moths were subsequently identified to species. Amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLPs) and mitochondrial DNA cytochrome oxidase I (COI) were used to examine whether or not there was genetic divergence of D. lineolata or D. saccharalis populations on the four host plants. Percent parasitism was also determined for each moth on its host plants. D. lineolata was collected from corn in the rainy season and sorghum in the dry season. D. saccharalis was most abundant on sugarcane in the rainy season and sorghum in the dry season. The AFLP analysis found two genetically divergent populations of both D. lineolata and D. saccharalis. Both moths had high levels of parasitism on their dominant host plant in the rainy season, yet had low levels of parasitism on sorghum in the dry season. The presence of two genotypes of both Diatraea spp. on sorghum suggest that host‐associated differentiation is occurring on this novel introduced crop plant.

“…Sugarcane is a strategically important crop that has economic and social impact in many countries, but it is vulnerable to many biotic stressors and among them, lepidopteran stalk borers are the most destructive in many sugar-producing countries, including Brazil (Volpe et al 2014), South Africa (Keeping 2006), Indonesia , Reunion Island (Nibouche & Tibère 2008), the USA (Showler & Reagan 2012), Mexico (Vejar-Cota et al 2008), Iran (Jamshidnia et al 2010), Colombia (Vargas et al 2013), India (Srivastava et al 2012), and Papua New Guinea (Kuniata & Sweet 1994).…”

Response of Sugarcane and Sugarcane Stalk Borers Sesamia spp. (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) to Calcium Silicate Fertilization

Sugarcane is grown extensively throughout the world including more than 100,000 ha in Khuzestan province, Iran. The pink stalk borers Sesamia are key pests of sugarcane in this region, while other stalk borers will occur in sugarcane worldwide. Application of silicon as a soil amendment has provided plant mitigation to both biotic and abiotic stresses. Silicon has been shown to enhance resistance of sugarcane against stalk borers. Field trials were conducted to determine the effects of calcium silicate against infestations of stalk borers Sesamia spp. and on yield quality. Experiments were conducted with three sugarcane varieties CP69-1062, IRC99-01, and SP70-1143 and two rates of calcium silicate (400 and 800 kg/ha). Percentage of stalk damaged, percentage of bored internodes, length of borer tunnel (mm), number of larvae + pupae per 100 stalks, number of exit holes, and cane yield quality were determined. We demonstrate significant reduction on borer population and damage under silicon treatment, but greater reduction in the percentages of stalk damage, bored internodes, moth exit holes, and length of borer tunnel and number of larvae and pupae per 100 stalks were observed in the susceptible variety CP69-1062. Silicon treatment positively affected cane and sugarcane juice quality of for the variety CP69-1062, but not for SP70-1143. We conclude that the benefits of silicon to sugarcane quality and sugarcane resistance to stalk borers are dependent on the sugarcane variety.
