“…Light traps have been used in the control of sugarcane borers especially for nocturnal species that are attracted to a light source (Holloway et al, 1928 andIngram etal., 1951). Observation based on light trap catches could be used for forecasting pest abundance and for planning effective chemical control.…”

A field study was carried out from 1996 to 1998 to identify and determine the seasonal abundance and species composition of stemborers attacking chewing sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) in farmers’ fields at four different locations in Niger state of Nigeria. Three lepidopterous species (Chilo zacconius Blesz, Sesamia calamistis Hamp, Busseola fusca Fuller and one Dipterous species, (Diopsis thoracica Westw.), were found attacking the crop with variable period of occurrence and abundance. Highest occurrence and abundance of these species occurred in the months of June to October. C. zacconius, D. thoracica and S. calamistis were the most predominant species occurring in the sugarcane fields. Scirpophaga spp. C. zacconius and S. calamistis were collected in the light trap.

“…Stalkborers (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) are economically important insect pests of sugarcane in all three states. The genus Diatraea Guilding contains several important species, but the sugarcane borer, D. saccharalis (F.), is the most important stalkborer attacking sugarcane and was Þrst reported as a pest in Louisiana in 1855 (Holloway and Loftin 1919).…”
