During 1998–99 and 1999–2000, 44 sugarcane clones comprising of Saccharum barberi, Saccharum sinense and Erianthus sp were evaluated for their relative susceptibility to major borer pests under natural conditions. Out of these, Manga, Manga SIC and Erianthus spp clones were found to show relatively low incidence of stalk borer and top borer, respectively.
