Sugarcane is known to be attacked by about 200 species of insects and non insects in India. The light trap collection yielded seven orders namely Odonata, Orthoptera, Hemiptera, Homoptera, Coleoptera, Lepidoptera, and Hymenoptera. Homoptera was the prominent order with 6 species. Insignificant values are observed with the help of Correlation and Regression. Coleoptera was the richer in terms of number of individuals (102) and odonata was least recorded with less number of individuals (33). The present study reveals that the most of the light trap collected insects were pest of sugarcane agroecosystem. Many predators and parasite of the orders Odonata, Orthoptera, Hemiptera, Homoptera, Coleopteran, Lepidoptera and Hymenoptera were also found in sugarcane field at A.Vadipatti, Periyakulam Taluk, Theni District. Even though, many insects are found in the sugarcane agro ecosystem, ma...

Sugarcane crop is affected by more than 60 insects of which about 10 insects are rather more important as far as the yield loss is concerned. Among the major insects damaging sugarcane, borers, sucking pests, soil dwelling insects are more prevalent in Tamil Nadu and adjoining states which account for 20% loss in cane yield and 15% loss in sugar yield. About 200 species of insects have been reported as damaging sugarcane crop in India. Light trap serves as an important survey tool to sample population of nocturnal insects effectively. Trapping methods are principal tools in insect pest management programs. The goal of this study was to assess population dynamics of insects in a sugarcane field at Aundipatti, Tamil Nadu. A 6 month study was conducted to sample insects using light trap at the farmer’s field from July 2011 to December...
