Sugar Industry Report on Cane Pests and Varieties

The Bureau of Sugar Experiment Station reports late rainy season growth, cane grub impacts, and pest management notes. Arsenic soil placement shows no sugar contamination risks. DI135 cane shows resilience. Locusts, beetle borers, and a new native grass bug threaten fields, with recommendations to burn trash, monitor parasites, and encourage collection of grub specimens for study.
