Pest & Disease Control for your Crop

POP pest page
Leaf Hopper (Pyrilla)
Sugarcane

Symptoms

  • Found gregariously on the under surface of the leaves where they suck up plant sap that causes yellowing and eventually drying of leaves.
  • Photosynthesis is reduced resulting in the reduction of sucrose content of the juice by up to 30%.
  • Under low infestation yellow patches appear on the leaves.
  • Hoppers secrete a sweet substance called honey dew that coats the leaves and attracts a blackish fungus, which reduces photosynthesis resulting in yield loss.

Preventive Measures

Avoid late application of nitrogenous fertilizers. Removal and destruction of lower dried leaves.
