Abstract
Sugarcane is the most important crops in Uttar Pradesh. The largest producing and growing state of sugarcane in the nation is Uttar Pradesh. In UP, sugarcane was grown on 27.40 lakh hectares in 2020–21. The state claimed that 22,32 crore tons of sugarcane were produced during the most recent sugar season (October 2020–September 2021). Top shoot borer can result in a 20–30% production loss for farmers. Shoot borer (Chilo infuscatellus snellen), top borer (Scirpophaga excerptalis), root borer (Polyocha depressella swinhoe) is major pest of Sugarcane during summer season in almost all the cane growing tracts in India. Damage occurs at the initial stage of crop growth resulting in killing young shoot up to 26-65 percent. Although a large number of insecticides have been recommended for its control, yet besides causing several adverse effects on the environment, the application of insecticides in grown up stage of sugarcane becomes real serious problem.
