Resumen

BUDEGUER, Florencia et al. Optimization of phenotyping system in sugarcane to evaluate different strategies against Diatraea saccharalis (Fabricius). Rev. ind. agric. Tucumán [online]. 2019, vol.96, n.2, pp.15-22. ISSN 1851-3018.

Sugarcane borer Diatraea saccharalis (Fabricius) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) is the most important sugarcane pest in Tucumán, Argentina. Older larvae bore into the stalks, facilitating microorganism colonization which indirectly reduces yield and quality of sugar. The aim of the present work was to optimize a sugarcane plant phenotyping method with D. saccharalis under controlled conditions to evaluate different strategies to manage the pest. Different numbers of neonate larvae were placed in the leaf whorl of sugarcane seedling (2-months-old) of cultivars TUC 95-10, TUC 03-12 and LCP 85-384. On the other hand, on single plants 6-month old of TUC 95-10, 10 larvae of several instars were added and the number of perforations and damaged sheath, the tunnel total length and the dead heart symptom were evaluated. In in vitro tests, immature leaf roll disks cut from seedlings were inoculated with two neonate larvae and the larval survival percentage was determined. Each assay was repeated twice or three times with 5 -10 replicates per treatment and conducted under controlled conditions (28-30ºC; 50-70% RH). In seedlings the symptom of the dead heart was observed in all the treatments with different larval number. In the case of the 6-month-old plants, damage in the sheath and stem were observed when infested with L2, L3 and L4 instars, whereas neonate larvae only produced sheath damage. In the laboratory tests, the survival percentage of larvae obtained was high. The results suggest that several methodologies were optimized to evaluate different types of plant material, which are available to study potential strategies for sugarcane borer management.
