Ecological Notes on the Sugarcane stem borer (Argyria, sticticraspis, Hmp) in the Irwin Canal Area, Mysore.

Abstract

The observations recorded in this paper were made in 1938 in a small plot acre in extent, situated amidst large blocks of sugar- cane at Satnur Farm 3 miles from Mandya in the Irwin Canal tract, Mysore. This plot was divided into ten equal sub-plots of one gunta ( acre) each which were planted, one in the middle of every month from February to November 1938. The observations recorded herein were made on each month's planting from the third till the twelfth week after planting. No control measures of any kind against the borer were undertaken, and there was no other deviation from the usual cultivation routine.
