Abstract
The studies on population dynamics of early
shoot borer, Chilo infuscatellus Snellen on sugarcane variety Co 86032
was conducted during the year 2021-22 at Central Sugarcane Research Station,
Padegaon, Dist. Satara, in Maharashtra state. It was revealed from the studies
that the incidence of early shoot borer was first noticed in 11th
MW. The incidence of early shoot borer was observed from 11th to 26th
MW in the range of 0.88 to 10.08 per cent. The highest incidence of early shoot
borer 10.08 per cent was recorded during 15th MW. Correlation of
early shoot borer population with different weather parameters showed that
there was a significant positive correlation with maximum temperature and had a
non-significant negative correlation with minimum temperature and rainfall whereas
it has significant and negative correlation with morning and evening relative
humidity. The effect of bright sunshine hours with per cent damage by early
shoot borer showed a non-significant positive correlation.
