ABSTRACT

A study on susceptibility of promising sugarcane varieties to stalk borer , Chilo auricilius Dudgeon with different levels of nitrogen was conducted at PAU, Regional Research Station Gurdaspur during the year 2010-11 and 2011-12. The pooled mean of both the years showed that sugarcane variety CoJ 89 significantly had less (24.53%) incidence of stalk as compared to other two varieties i.e. CoH 119 (29.28%) and CoJ 85 (35.15%). The incidence of stalk borer increased from 3.70 t0 69.63 percent with increase in nitrogen level from 0 to 90 kg N/ac. The highest cane yield was obtained from the CoH 119 variety at 60 kg N/ac.
