area in the world. However, expected yield of the crop
is not achieved so far because of damage caused to
canes by pests and diseases. More than 10% crop /
losses are due to only pests. Diseases add their own
share in the losses. The diseases such as red rot and
wilt cause 100% loss in epidemic form.

agronomical, ecological and edaphic factors of crop.

ecofriend1y control measures of pests and diseases.
The book contains detail studies of 38 pests and 19
important diseases of sugarcane.
