Population Structure Dynamics and Control Countermeasures of Sugarcane Borers in Yunnan Sugarcane Area

摘要

To control sugarcane borers scientifically and effectively, the species, population structure and dynamics of sugarcane borers in Yunnan sugarcane areas were analyzed, based on the historical data and survey research. The distribution area and damage of the major sugarcane borers in Yunnan sugarcane areas were ascertained, and the factors influencing population structure dynamics of sugarcane borers and their rampant causes were revealed. According to the damaging characteristics of sugarcane borers, suitable control countermeasures were proposed, including establish-ing and improving sugarcane quarantine system, enhancing quarantine of imported varieties/clones, investigating new sugarcane borer populations thoroughly and systematically, establishing early warning and monitoring system, actively carrying out physical and biological control, and enhancing protection of natural enemies. These countermeasures could help to effectively control sugarcane borers and reduce the damage caused by these borers.
