United States Department of Agriculture reports the sugarcane moth borer is confined to three regions: southern Louisiana, southern Florida, and southern Texas. It reduces yield by about 20 percent and damages cane through larval tunneling. Recommendations include destroying scraps after grinding, keeping shipment cars free of infested plant material, planting seed cane in fall, soaking shipments, covering trash with earth, avoiding burning, removing dead hearts, and potentially releasing beneficial parasites with Cuba-based collection and Louisiana-based release stations.
