In Barbados, since the establishment of two larval parasites, Apanteles flavipes (cam.) and Lixophaga diatraeae (Tns.) against moth-borer, Diatraea sacdharalis (F), the damage to sugarcane remained below economic levels. Observations on the pest and parasite status in different parts of the island, susceptibility of various varieties; damage to plant and ratoon canes, in general; and the effect of sugar pre-harvest sugarcane burning on the pest and parasite complex in particular were carried out.

Studies on host-plant resistance to the sugarcane borer, Diatraea saccharalis (F.) with emphasis on establishment and survival of larvae on a resistant variety (NCo 310) and a susceptible variety (CP 44-101) were conducted in the greenhouse and in the field in 1968 and 1969. Attempts were made to elucidate, if possible, the mechanisms that contributed to resistance in NCo 310. Significantly fewer larvae, especially those in the 1st and 2nd instars of development, survived on NCo 310 than on CP 44-101. However, once larvae were established in leafsheaths, survival was approximately equal and larval development patterns were similar on both varieties. When plants of each variety with leafsheaths mechanically opened, closed or permitted to open normally were infested with first instar larvae, significantly fewer larvae were recovered from stalks of both varieties with closed leafsheaths. It was concluded that tightness of leafsheaths was partially responsible for resistance of NCo 310 to D. saccharalis (03280)

Twenty-one new and three commercial sugar-cane varieties were screened for possible resistance to the sugar-cane moth borer Diatraea saccharalis at four different sites. Varietal resistance was evaluated using percentage dead hearts in young canes and percentage joint infestation in millable canes. Variety rankings according to both indices of infestation were site specific and in the case of dead heart rankings, time specific. These results are discussed in the context of the impact of environmental factors on varietal resistance and the need for an integrated pest management (IPM) approach to the management of the pest in Barbados.
