Sugarcane stem borers of the genus of Diatraea (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) form a species
complex that causes serious economic losses to sugarcane production in the Cauca River …

Genetic diversity present in the sugarcane germplasm, among different Saccharum species
and related taxa, represents a large reservoir of genes to develop new varieties and hybrids …

The objective of this work was to evaluate the oviposition preference of Diatraea saccharalis
and the effect of ten sugarcane cultivars on larval development. Oviposition preference was …

Sugarcane has been grown in the USA since the 1690 s when it was brought to the country
by early explorers. New sugarcane varieties and true seed were brought in from other …

Abstract The Mexican rice borer, Eoreuma loftini (Dyar), is a major pest of sugarcane
(hybrids of Saccharum spp.) in Louisiana and Texas. Resistance to E. loftini was evaluated …

Cultivar resistance is a key management strategy for the sugarcane borer, Diatraea
