RECOMMENDATIONS
Field applications of T. chilonis cards and C. carnea sheets should be pest scouting based
Efficiency of biocontrol could be increased with trash blanketing, balanced fertigation,
pest-free seed and appropriate field monitoring
Efforts are now required to develop transgenic plants of sugarcane for resistance against
major infesting insect pests like borers and Pyrilla perpusilla
All the sugar mills should immediately establish T. chilonis and C. carnea rearing labs.
T. chilonis cards and C. carnea sheets produced should be given on highly subsidized
price to cane growers.
