Report of the Proceedings of the Entomological Meeting, Vol. 2 of 3: Held at Pusa on the 3rd to 15th February 1919 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Report of the Proceedings of the Entomological Meeting, Vol. 2 of 3: Held at Pusa on the 3rd to 15th February 1919
Aleurolobus barodensis, Maskell, popularly known as cane mealy wing or sugarcane white-fly, is in particular places and in some years very destructive to sugarcane, especially the broad leaved varieties. During the past fourteen years that I have been observing the pest at Pusa, I have found it bad in some years and lightly so in other years. It is bad from July to November when it is more or less parasitized. In years when ratoon cane was allowed to remain on the ground, the subsequent new plantations were more affected than when no such crop was allowed to remain on the ground. With the ratoon crop the pest continued to breed and quickly transferred itself to the new crop. Besides, I have seen the pest bad at Nagpur, Baroda, Tharsa (central Provinces), and present on the cane at Cawnpore and Sindewahi (district Chanda, Central Provinces). In' February 1908, when I examined thesugarcane on the Sewage Farm, Nagpur, the pest was so bad on the leaves that with the whitish puparia on the leaves, especially the Lower side, they looked white from a distance. The lower leaves were encrusted thickly with the black fungus, Capitodium sp., and on the whole the fields looked pale and sickly. The cultivators though thorough agriculturists ascribed the stunted growth of the plants to the scarcity of irrigation water. In a case like this itwas no wonder that, the plants being deficient in sucrose contents, they were not much appreciated by the local people in the city 1: eths where they were put up for retail sale.
