Abstract

The sugarcane wooly aphid (SWA) - Ceratovacuna lanigera Zehntner (Hemiptera: Aphididae) is an important invasive insect pest in recent times in India. This overview seeks to synthesize the existing knowledge base with reference to R&D undertaken in the country as well as elsewhere. The local surveys on their incidence and spread, the extent of impact made on yield and quality of the canes harvested as well as the varietal differences in the incidence level of SWA are indicated. The case studies of promising biocontrol agents which can be multiplied in situ and also redistributed to new areas are illustrated. The scope for future R&D initiatives to fiarther promote the biocontrol-based IPM development is highlighted.
