| In 1996 and 1997, infestation by the spotted borer, Chilo sacchariphagus in the nost commonly cultivated sugar cane varieties in Mauritius was assessed in the different climatic regions. Compared to surveys conducted in 1964, 1965, 1984, and 1985 fields with higher levels of infestations were recorded. The highest infestations were in the subhumid non-irrigated zone in 1996 and in the humid non-irrigated zone in 1997. Data showed that a particular variety reacts differently to borers in different climatic regions and plant canes tend to be more susceptible than ratoons. The quadratic relationship between percent canes bored and percent internodes bored is given for both 1996 and 1997. A relation was found between percent canes bored and the number of internodes bored per bored cane. | |
