Abstract
The paper discusses the importance of varietal resistance in integrated pest management (IPM) against sugarcane stalkborers. It presents field and laboratory methods for evaluating resistance, highlighting CIRAD team results. Stalkborers directly affect sucrose-storing vegetative tissues, impacting yield and quality. The study emphasizes the role of natural enemies and varietal resistance over insecticides for sustainable borer control.
