Sugarcane (Saccharum sp.) crop is habitat of more than 1500 species of insects in the sugar world. Amongst these borers like Scirpophaga excerptalis, Chilo infuscatellus, Emmalocera depresella, Acigona steniellus and sucking insect pest Pyrilla perpusilla are major devastators to cause considerable loss in yield and quality of the crop. In our country primary and secondary insect pests species identified were 11, while parasites and predators species were 14 in cane fields. Studied revealed that with 75 % infestation of borers, sucrose recovery was 52 % lower. Field data on infestation of Pyrilla perpusilla showed that decline in cane yield was 18%.
