SK Agrotech – Pheromone Lure for Sugarcane Top Borer (Scirpophaga excerptalis)

🐛 About Sugarcane Top Borer (Scirpophaga excerptalis)

The Sugarcane Top Borer (Scirpophaga excerptalis) is one of the most destructive pests of sugarcane in India and Asia. The larvae bore into the top portion of the cane, damaging the growing point. This leads to dead hearts, reduced cane weight, and poor juice quality, ultimately lowering sugar yield.

Unchecked infestations can cause 20–30% yield loss and severely affect farmers’ profits.
