Abstract

Stem borer attack is one of the limiting factors in the production of sugar cane. Proper management of plant nutrients to improve soil productivity could also improve plant resistance to borer attack and increase the yield of sugar cane. The aim of this research is to study the effect of fertilizer and boiler ash application in improving sugar cane plant resistance to stem borer attack. A Split-Split-Plot field experiment was arranged in a Randomized Completely Block Design with three replicates. The main plot was inorganic N, P, K fertilizer (standard dose, 2/3 standard dose, 1/3 standard dose). The sub plot was boiler ash application (80 tons/ha boiler ash and without boiler ash). The sub-sub plot was type of Liquid Organic Fertilizer (LOF) (LOF “Bacteria”, LOF “Double” and LOF “Plus”, no LOF application). Field observation was conducted on 4 months old plant to examine the percentage of stalk attacked and percentage of internodes damaged by stem borer. Artificial infestation in laboratory was conducted to examine biological performance of Chilo auricilius on treated plants. The application of low dose of inorganic N, P, K resulted in significantly lower incidence of sugar cane infested by stem borer. Application of boiler ash could increase sugar cane resistance by reducing first instar larvae survival and reducing third instar larval growth. The application of LOF “Plus” could increase the resistance of sugar cane against stem borer attack by reducing third instar larval growth and decreasing the damage on treated plant.
