Abdullah, M., Rahman, M.A., & Biswas, M.M. 2006 Reaction of some promising sugarcane clones to major insect pests under field condition.. Indian Sugar 55(10): 37-42.

Notes: A field experiment was conducted to evaluate promising sugarcane clones I 5-98, I 82-98, I 89-98, I 98-98, I 101-98, I 110-98, I 117-98, I 120-98, I 124-98, I 139-98, I 142-98 and the standard cultivar Isd 29 against some major insect pests at Ishurdia and Thakurgaon, Bangladesh, during 2002/03. In Pabna, early shoot borer (Chilo infuscatellus), black beetle (Alissonotum impressicole [A. impressicolle]), top shoot borer (Scirpophaga excerptalis), stem borer (Chilo tumidicostalis) in stalk, stem borer in internode, rootstock borer (Emmalocera depressella [Polyocha depressella]), scale insect (Melanaspis glomerata), mealy bug (Saccharicoccus sacchari) and white grub incidence was lowest in I 5-98, I 120-98, I 124-98, I 139-98, I 142-98, Isd 29, I 98-98, I 101-98 and Isd 29, respectively. Comparative data on the infestation levels of some major insect pests to promising clones in Thakurgaon during 2002/03 are also tabulated.
