“…Globally, sugarcane has been planted over 27 million hectares, and is commonly grown in 120 countries and regions 2 . In recent years, the increase in sugarcane yields has been stagnant due to the excessive use of chemical fertilizers 3 , soil acidification 4,5 , pests 6 and diseases 7 in sugarcane cultivation. How to improve the yield has become a current research hotspot in the field of sugarcane agricultural research.…”

Microbes living inside or around sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) are crucial for their resistance to abiotic and biotic stress, growth, and development. Sequences of microbial genomes and genes are helpful to understand the function of these microbes. However, there is currently a lack of such knowledge in sugarcane. Here, we combined Nanopore and Illumina sequencing technologies to successfully construct the first high-quality metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) and gene catalogues of sugarcane culturable microbes (GCSCMs), which contained 175 species-level genome bins (SGBs), and 7,771,501 non-redundant genes. The SGBs included 79 novel culturable bacteria genomes, and 3 bacterial genomes with nitrogen-fixing gene clusters. Four single scaffold near-complete circular MAGs (cMAGs) with 0% contamination were obtained from Nanopore sequencing data. In conclusion, we have filled a research gap in the genomes and gene catalogues of culturable microbes of sugarcane, providing a vital data resource for further understanding the genetic basis and functions of these microbes. In addition, our methodology and results can provide guidance and reference for other plant microbial genome and gene catalogue studies.

Selection of infestation free stalks and the discarding of seed stalks, and leaves left after seed preparation reduce scale insect, mealy bugs, white flies, borers, sugarcane woolly aphids [40]. Collection and destruction of beetles from neem trees during nighttime immediately after first heavy showers for white grub control.…”

Tropical Plant Species and Technological Interventions for Improvement

The tropical climate shift is causing herbivores to emerge almost ceaselessly throughout the year in certain regions exhibiting homodynamic cycles and unbalanced biodiversity. Crop management and pest management are being viewed as separate activities, with recent focus on sustainability. Even though there is a great deal of information on crop loss assessment, systems analysis, systems modelling, individual pest sciences, and pest management, the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) concept is not frequently deployed. The IPM system is a multi-tactic approach to pest management in agricultural production that takes into account economic, environmental, ecological, and human health implications. This paper provides an overview of key achievements in the development of management strategies, including the transition from a specific level of pest control that focuses on the suppression of target pests to an eco-friendlier and/or systems approach to pest management that employs a variety of non-chemical options as well as the judicious use of pesticides. The agroecological protection techniques and their integration to sustainably minimise pest risks are also reviewed here and describe technological advances in tropical pest management using host resistance, semiochemicals, natural enemies, selective pesticides, ecological engineering and habitat management which promotes sustainable pest management.

“…Therefore, until now, borer biocontrol programs in sugarcane-producing countries often involve the use of egg parasitoids as biological control agents (BCA) [11,12,13,14]. The success of biocontrol using parasitoids through augmentation is greatly influenced by the species of parasitoids released and their release techniques [15], as well as other factors, such as agroecosystem conditions, or plant varieties [16,17,18]. Furthermore, Trichogramma mass release for complex control of sugarcane borers is influenced by infestation severity, location and season [19].…”

The sugarcane shoot borer (Scirpophaga excerptalis) is an herbivorous insect that primarily infests sugarcane plants, leading to the development of dead heart symptoms. This study aimed to investigate the contribution of egg parasitoids in mitigating the occurrence of dead heart caused by S. excerptalis infestation. The research was conducted in Asembagus and Malang, East Java, Indonesia. The samples collection of shoot borer eggs were done twice in Asembagus, and three times in Malang. The collected eggs were examined to determine the percentage of parasitism, and the emerged parasitoids were identified. The infestation level of shoot borers was evaluated by counting the dead heart symptoms within 5 m2 observation units, comprising 18 and 15 units in Asembagus and Karangploso, respectively. Three species of parasitoids, namely Telenomus sp., Trichogramma chilonis, and Tetrastichus sp., were found to parasitize S. excerptalis eggs. The average parasitism levels by Telenomus sp., T. chilonis, and Tetrastichus sp. were 74% (ranged: 50-100%), 0.6% (ranged: 0-4.4%), and 14.3% (ranged: 0-100%), respectively. Telenomus sp. was the predominant egg parasitoid observed in all observations at both sites. There was an inverse relationship between the mortality of shoot borer eggs by parasitoids and the occurrence of dead heart symptoms. Higher levels of parasitism were associated with reduced dead shoot symptoms. The natural control of S. excerptalis through the complex of egg parasitoids holds a promise for effective management of sugarcane shoot borers and promoting sustainable agriculture.
