Impact of borers infestation on quality of cane crop
Another experiment was conducted on impact of borers infestation on quality of cane crop
(Fig.2). Infestation of borer complex was recorded on internode basis. Quality analysis
(sugar recovery % cane) of the crop having infestation of 25 %, 50 %, and 75 % was done
from October to April of 2002-04. Results indicated that sugar recovery % cane of healthy
crop was 8.56. Decline in sugar recovery was 22, 34, and 52 % with borers infestation of 25,
50, and 75 %, respectively
